Steinlager’s success in New Zealand and around the world is credited to its distinctive taste and use of only pure, natural New Zealand ingredients. It has a dry, tangy finish and the green bullet hops deliver a clean, crisp bitterness.
Steinlager compliments any spicy dish, such as a Thai curry and it’s characteristic bitterness sweeps the palate leaving it refreshed and ready for more. Steinlager is also perfect with tomato based pasta dishes, as the herbacious nature of the hops enhances the herbs, bringing subtlety to the meal.
Awards
Steinlager has consistently been judged one of the best beers in the world.
This has been reinforced by the numerous victories in breweing competitions around the world.
Steinlager won the Les Amis Du Vin competition four years in a row from 1977 to 1980, after which the organisers politely asked if it could refrain from entering “to give the others a chance”.
In 1985 at the Brewers’ International Exhitibition in London, it was judged the World’s Best Lager.
In 1998 it was awarded two Monde Selection gold medals in Belgium.
In 2005 Steinlager again won gold at the le monde awards.
More recently Steinlager won a gold medal and ‘Best in Class’ in the lager division at the 2006 Australian International Beer Awards.
Steinlager with its distinct taste will continue to take on the world of beer and win!
