Use: a good set for a beer-mat collection, for decorating a home bar or pub, or for personal use. Top row: Hoegaarden – Belgium 🇧🇪 Origin: the village of Hoegaarden, Flanders (Belgium). History and features: the cradle of Belgian white wheat beer (witbier), whose traditions began here with monks as early as 1445. By the mid-20th century local production had died out, but in 1965 the milkman Pierre Celis revived the historic recipe. The hallmark of Hoegaarden beer is its distinctive spicy taste, achieved by adding unmalted wheat, Curaçao orange peel and coriander. Paulaner – Germany 🇩🇪 Origin: Munich, Bavaria (Germany). History and features: the brewery was founded in 1634 by friars of the Order of Minims (Paulaner). The profile of St Francis of Paola still adorns the brand's logo. Paulaner is one of only 6 historic Munich breweries with the exclusive official right to brew beer for the world-famous Oktoberfest. The brewery is a world benchmark for Bavarian wheat beer (Weißbier). Middle row: Radegast – Czech Republic 🇨🇿 Origin: Nošovice, Moravian-Silesian Region (Czech Republic). History and features: a relatively young but iconic Czech brewery founded in 1970. It is named after Radegast, a pagan god of the West Slavs (god of the sun, war and hospitality), whose stern statue crowns the logo. Radegast beer is known for its uncompromising, pronounced bitterness and high hop content, which sets it apart from classic mild Czech lagers. Kulmbacher – Germany 🇩🇪 Origin: Kulmbach, Franconia, Bavaria (Germany). History and features: the brewery was founded in 1846, although brewing traditions in the region are officially recorded as early as 1349. In Germany the town of Kulmbach is respectfully called the “secret capital of beer”. The brewery is known for strictly following the Reinheitsgebot beer purity law of 1516. The Edelherb shown on the coaster is their flagship – a fine, slightly dry pilsner with a delicate hop aroma. Pivovar Mordýř – Czech Republic 🇨🇿 Origin: the village of Dolní Ředice, Pardubice Region (Czech Republic). History and features: a vivid representative of the modern Czech craft movement. The brewery was founded in 2013 as an independent family business. The word Mordýř means “murderer” or “executioner” in Czech, which is why the logo features a medieval gallows. The brewery brews in small batches, does not filter or pasteurise its beer and uses scarce American and European hop varieties. Maisel's Weisse – Germany 🇩🇪 Origin: Bayreuth, Bavaria (Germany). History and features: the family brewery Brauerei Gebr. Maisel was founded by the brothers Hans and Eberhard Maisel in 1887. Today it is one of the main and most respected wheat-beer producers in Bavaria. The coaster is devoted to their quality mark Bayerische Edelreifung (Bavarian noble maturation). It is a demanding process in which the beer ferments twice (including maturing in the bottle with fresh live yeast), giving it a distinctive banana and clove aroma. Bottom row: 7 and 8. Autohof Kolb / Restaurant Kolb – Germany 🇩🇪 Origin: Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg (Germany). History and features: not a classic brewery but a well-known German premium roadside service area and restaurant hub, open around the clock. The Kolb establishment has a cult status among European travellers, is certified by Michelin (through the Truckfly system) and has received the German design award “Lokal des Jahres” for its interior. These coasters are the establishment's own branded merchandise, used when serving draught German beers in its lounge bars. Ellwanger Rotochsen Bier – Germany 🇩🇪 Origin: Ellwangen, Swabia, Baden-Württemberg (Germany). History and features: a notable piece for collectors – the independent family brewery Rotochsen Brauerei, founded in 1680 (more than 340 years of history). The name means “Red Ox”, which is why the front of the coaster shows a historical engraving of a cart drawn by oxen. The brewery still belongs to the founders' descendants and brews exclusively with pure water from its own deep rock spring (Felsquellwasser).
