Brasserie Nationale dans la commune de Käerjeng

Our commitments for a sustainable world

Inscrite dans une démarche écologique de réduction des besoins en énergies depuis plus de 20 années, la Brasserie Nationale détient un statut de pionnier en matière de développement durable.

100% natural products

Brewed from the best certified raw materials, the Brasserie Nationale beers are 100% natural, without additives or preservatives.

Four
INGREDIENTS

Hops

Hops give beer its bitterness and enrich its aroma. It is a natural preservative. The Brasserie Nationale uses different hops from the Hallertau in Bavaria, the largest hops growing region in the world.

Hops

Yeast

During the fermentation phase, the yeast ensures the transformation of the natural sugars of the malt into CO2 and alcohol. This yeast, specific to the Brasserie Nationale, is selected for its excellent fermentation properties and is crucial to the quality of the beer.

Yeast

Malt

Malt is obtained by controlled germination of the barley. This germination allows the solubilisation of the grain's reserves during brewing. Malt is the ingredient that gives beer its taste. Our malt comes from the Greater Region and Bavaria.

Malt

Water

Water is the most important ingredient for the quality of the beer. The Brasserie Nationale draws all the water it needs from its own natural spring 317 meters underground. This exceptionally pure water is protected from any pollution and is constantly monitored.

Materials

All recyclable materials such as glass, paper, plastic packaging films and metal are collected by category and sent for recycling.

Spent grains

The remains of the malt husks, removed from the mash tun after the wort has run off, are used as fodder.

Yeast

The excess yeast that settles to the bottom of the fermentation and storage tanks during the mash fermentation process is used for protein-rich pig feed.

THE BEGINNING

Empress Marie-Thérèse of Austria opened the first breweries in the Rue Plaetis in the Grund district of Luxembourg after closing down all the bathhouses. The "house" or rather the room, not bigger than a kitchen, where the first brewing activity had been carried out since 1670, officially became a brewery under the name of rue Plaetis, which became the Funck-Bricher brewery almost a century later.

Reducing the water and energy consumption

Inscrite dans une logique de modernisation et d'innovation, la Brasserie Nationale a été récompensée du Prix de l'Environnement pour Industrie par la FEDIL ainsi que du prix Européen de l'Environnement par la Commission Européenne en 2002, positionnant la brasserie comme étant l'une des plus modernes, des plus économiques et des plus respectueuses de l’environnement.
