70Years of EBC(Part 1)

摘要

The European Brewery Convention celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. Before World War II there was no international organisation looking after brewers, brewing and beer. In those days, there was a clear dichotomy of brewing practices -the Anglo-Saxon and Irish top fermented beers on one hand, the Bohemian-Czech, German-Austrian and Danish bottom fermentation systems on the other. Brewing practices were often a mix of time-honoured recipes and continuous improvements tying up tradition and observation.
