“It depends on the beer category you are producing. If you try the lager type, the decoction is very important. We compared decoction versus infusion on our small-scale brewery; always the beer brewed by the infusion process was emptier in its taste—the body was not correct for the lagers. Also the color changed. If you boil during the decoction, you prepare the compounds which cause golden color. So the infusion lagers were yellowish, not so full in its taste.”
“Always there is a discussion of the definition of pilsner lager. We are a bit different [than Pilsner Urquell]. It is not so bitter, and a bit deeper fermented. It’s really difficult to compete with Pilsner Urquell because I think that it’s really the style. It became the style of the pilsner type. We are a bit different in this category because bitterness is really fine, the alcohol is a bit higher than the pilsner has. The Budweiser beer is really different.”
