Jever Fun Non-Alcoholic German Pilsner 330ml - Case of 24

Product Information

Alcohol Free Beers are made just like the alcoholic ones with water, yeast, hops and barley. Some are brewed to a lower ABV and some have the alcohol removed through various techniques. Across Europe beers below 0.5% ABV are classed as alcohol free. In the UK drinks that are between 0.05% and 0.5% ABV are classed as non-alcoholic. Now there is a vast range of lagers to choose from for those who don’t want a fuzzy head or midriff bulge. One German brewery that does this is Jever, which boasts that the water from its well is unusually pure and soft. This would have had a major influence on it choosing to brew pilsners when it first started producing beer in 1848. When we launched in 2006 as the uk’s first online specialists in alcohol-free alternatives we introduced a bevy of bevvies from across Europe.

The law, which has been through several iterations since its introduction in the 1500s, says beer should be produced from nothing but malted grain, hops, water and yeast. A cool lager that’s free from alcohol is ideal to refresh and rehydrate after a workout, when you’ve built up a thirst doing manual work, while enjoying outdoor activities or while relaxing with friends. Jever removes the alcohol rather than halting fermentation early, which means the yeast eats all the sugars from the grain leaving no sugar in the finished product and just 13 calories per 100ml.Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever was founded in 1848 by an innkeeper, Diedrich König, in the Lower Saxony town of Jever, near Germany’s north coast. In a period where most beer was supplied in barrels, Jever Brewery were one of the first to use custom bottles with a dark green colour for their beers. This early form of branding for the company is a feature that continues to this day. The brewery has gone through several owners and head brewers over the years, with one having the idea to add more hops to their brews, creating the unique ‘Frisian’ flavour they’re known for. Since the 1950s their beer has been sold worldwide, for years under the moniker of ‘Jever Export’, which was a success for the brewery until it was discontinued in the 1990s. After World War II, the brewery once again found itself experiencing difficult times. Due to a fuel shortage, beer could only be sold from the brewery gates directly to customers. It was also necessary to scour the region's farms for malt. Jever Fun is the ideal drink for those who have a taste for genuine beer.Jever Fun is brewed as a full beer.Only then is the alcohol removed by a particularly gentle process, whereby the typical beer aromas are retained - without sugar and just 43 calories. This creates a fries-herbe-alcohol-free pleasure experience with character: distinctive. We love this beer and think you will as well!

Pilsner malt greets us as we drink, providing a good base for some herbal and grassy Saaz hops notes to build on. What starts off as a soft bitterness ramps up slowly as we drink, resulting in a pleasing clean bitter taste as we round off the drink. There are hints of citrus in there too, and a slight honey sweetness. Carbonation is not too high and the body is quite light, not veering off too much into watery territory. We get a dry finish to the drink. During the ensuing decades the take up remained slow in the UK but other countries, such as Germany and Spain, were continuing to produce superior alternatives as social attitudes hardened against drink-driving and liquid-lunch lifestyles. Jever Fun is a perfectly quaffable alcohol-free pilsner lager, not reinventing the wheel, but doing what it does with aplomb. Classic pilsner flavours and aromas abound, and if every bar served this I’d be a very happy non-drinker – though I’d probably pour it into a glass to hide the awful branding. Buy Jever Fun Do not open any bottles shortly after delivery. They are likely to be very volatile and cause spillage.

However, there’s little restriction on the types of these ingredients brewers can use. This includes the make up of the water, meaning it’s OK for brewers to treat the water they use so it suits the style of beer they’re brewing. Of course, the breweries don’t tell us that and many use the source of their water as a selling point. By the 1960s the brewery was riding the wave of Pils-popularity, with their flagship Pilsener selling like, well, cold beer, which in turn fuelled expansion for the company. By the beginning of 2005 the brewery was acquired by German big boys the Radeberger Group, joining a slew of other veteran brewing brands. The First World War was a difficult time for the brewery. Theodor Fetköter's son, who had taken over the business, was killed at the front. The brewery was sold once again, in 1922, to the Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery, based in Hamburg. Today the Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery is owned by the Danish Carlsberg Group. By then, beer from Jever had become known outside the region where it was produced. Since 1934, it has been sold under the name "Jever Pilsener".
