What is Lüttje Lage - History

The Hannover "National drink": you have to thank the Hanover-born Cord Broyhan for his invention. He was the first ever to brew a beer that was not dark but light/pale in color and therefore it was called "whitebeer", and its advantage was that it kept - hence the people in Hannover said that it was "storable" - and German word for "Storage" is "Lager" !!

As this beer had a lot less alcohol than usual so it became customary to drink it alongside a Schnapps/Liquor. This combination of beer and Schnaps is called a "Lüttje Lage" in Hanover. To this day the people of Hanover cling onto this century old tradition. You need two special glasses for it: yone filled with Lüttje Lagen-Beer and one with mildy destilled Schnapps / Wheat liquor (32%). Whenever the people of Hanover have something to celebrate, when Friends meet up, the "Lüttje Lage" is never far away. As it is a small drink and therefore very affordable. This is the drink of choice when you buy in rounds amongst friends There always is fun and conviviality and the people of Hanover take real pride in it.

And its the ultimate drinking game! He who spills a drop has to buy in the next round !!

And it tastes really good - not of Beer or alcohol, but sweet with notes of Malt, slightly toasted and of caramell without any bitterness.

Lüttje Lage. Enjoy!
