Brasserie Nationale saw three of its beers win awards at the Meininger’s Finest Beer Selection, an international competition held annually in Germany.

Two Bofferding beers and one Battin beer scored over 90 out of 100: Bofferding Pils (90), Battin Gambrinus (90) and Bofferding Alcohol-Free (91). These three products are among the brands brewed in Bascharage by the Brasserie Nationale, formed in 1974 following the merger of Funck-Bricher and Bofferding.

Organised by the specialist publisher Meininger Verlag, the competition brings together a panel of experts, sommeliers and tasters who assess the beers in a blind tasting (judging their appearance, aromas, flavour balance and technical quality).

For Maurice Treinen, production manager at Brasserie Nationale, this recognition is a tribute to the teams’ hard work: “Seeing our beers score over 90 points confirms the precision and high standards of our master brewers.”
