Study reveals molecular profile of 19th century beer sample. Researchers at TUM have analytically and sensorially characterized Germany's oldest beer to date. After almost 140 years, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) opened a lager beer that had been kept at room temperature throughout to analyze it. The beer, dating back to 1885, has now been characterized sensorially and analytically. The findings provide insight into the technological aspects of historical beer brewing. A historic beer from the time of the German Empire was recently found in northern Germany. Its chemical composition offers unique insights into the brewing culture of the late 19th century, when groundbreaking innovations laid the foundation for industrial beer production.
