Virtual tour of the brewery - Lager cellars
Welcome underground! Here final fermentation and maturation take place. The result is a gradual ‘rounding’ of the beer’s taste and aroma. The process goes on in special lager fermenting tanks at a low temperature – around 1°C. At a slight overpressure, the beer is saturated with the carbon dioxide, froth forms, and the yeast sediments. We never accelerate the fermentation and maturation process. Budweiser Budvar lager likes to rest and take its time maturing for an exceptional 90 days. But that’s nothing. The special strong beer called Bud Super Strong (In the UK known as Bud Premier Select) matures for a record-breaking 250 days. After all that, it really is super strong!
Next we filter the completely matured beer to make it a perfectly transparent, sparkling brew.
The filtration process completed the beer runs to the keg and bottle filling plant or is tankered to the can filler.
