MISEREOR Lent Beer: enjoy sustainably and do good with every bottle

Even though the official Lenten beer tapping ceremony unfortunately has to be cancelled this year, the popular MISEREOR Lenten beer will once again be available for purchase in organic shops during Lent. The organic brewery Neumarkter Lammsbräu has brewed this alcohol-free beer for MISEREOR and donates one euro per crate sold to MISEREOR projects. It is available until the end of Lent.

With the Lenten beer, the Catholic work for development cooperation MISEREOR and the organic pioneer Neumarkter Lammsbräu are taking up an old Bavarian tradition. Together they offer an alcohol-free alternative to the otherwise high-proof strong beer. Fasting has a long tradition in monasteries. Liquid food was allowed during fasting, which is why resourceful monks came up with the idea of making thin beer more nutritious. The recipes for the "liquid bread" go back to the early Middle Ages, it has up to 11 vol.%. The MISEREOR Lenten beer is the only non-alcoholic version of the Lenten beer known to date. The beer is ideal for all those who want to completely abstain from alcohol during Lent.

Since 2018, the family-owned company Neumarkter Lammsbräu has been supporting the MISEREOR Lent campaign with its contemporary interpretation of Lent beer. For decades, the family-owned brewery from the Upper Palatinate has followed the principle of always producing the best possible product in an absolutely sustainable way in harmony with creation. This includes relying on traditional brewing skills as well as exclusively using the highest quality brewing raw materials from organic farming: whole aroma hop cones and malt produced in the in-house malt house from organic grain.

The beer will be available from Ash Wednesday at participating organic shops and well-stocked specialist beverage markets, including many denn's Biomarkt branches.
