The First World War was a difficult time for the brewery. Theodor Fetköter's son, who had taken over the business, was killed at the front. The brewery was sold once again, in 1922, to the Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery, based in Hamburg. Today the Bavaria – St. Pauli Brewery is owned by the Danish Carlsberg Group. By then, beer from Jever had become known outside the region where it was produced. Since 1934, it has been sold under the name "Jever Pilsener". Do not open any bottles shortly after delivery. They are likely to be very volatile and cause spillage. Since 1994, the brewery has belonged to the Dortmunder Brau und Brunnen Group, which was acquired by Radeberger Group, at the beginning of 2005. Now there is a vast range of lagers to choose from for those who don’t want a fuzzy head or midriff bulge.

A cool lager that’s free from alcohol is ideal to refresh and rehydrate after a workout, when you’ve built up a thirst doing manual work, while enjoying outdoor activities or while relaxing with friends. Svart/Hvit from @nogneo . Treacle, coffee, roasted malts and vanilla on the nose, restrained bitterness with more roasted grains, coffee and a slight caramel sweetness as we taste. Lovely hefty body. Could easily pass for a full-fat stout free-beer.co.uk/nogne-o-svar… #alcoholfree @FreeBeer_UK - Sep 5 When we launched in 2006 as the uk’s first online specialists in alcohol-free alternatives we introduced a bevy of bevvies from across Europe. After World War II, the brewery once again found itself experiencing difficult times. Due to a fuel shortage, beer could only be sold from the brewery gates directly to customers. It was also necessary to scour the region's farms for malt.

Jever Fun was first produced in 1991 as an ‘alkoholfrei’ version of the brewery’s popular Jever Pilsener. It’s brewed as a full strength beer and then the alcohol is removed via cool vacuum distillation. I find the name of the beer to be rather cringeworthy. Drinking a beer from a bottle labelled ‘fun’ just looks silly in my eyes, like eating a meal named ‘yummy’. Watered-down and weak, the branding is not a good start. Let’s pop the top off this bottle and hope the beer is an improvement. During the ensuing decades the take up remained slow in the UK but other countries, such as Germany and Spain, were continuing to produce superior alternatives as social attitudes hardened against drink-driving and liquid-lunch lifestyles. When the "Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever" was founded by Diedrich König in 1848, it was only one of several breweries in the region. König, however, was convinced from the beginning that his beer was something special. After his death in 1867, his son sold the brewery. Theodor Fetköter took over the brewery. He began by developing the small family business into a large brewery operation, started to advertise and developed special bottles. In 1848, he played an important part in installing the first water supply system in Jever. You will appreciate that goods may have been despatched before cancellation takes place.

It’s only in the last five years as researchers uncovered a growing trend towards sobriety that brewers sat up to take notice. As defined by governmental guidelines ow sugar means the drink contains less than 2.5g of sugar per 100mls. Products with a higher sugar content cause a spike in insulin and we react by storing more carbs as fat. You may also notice that although lower in sugar there is some carbs, this is usually more complex forms of sugar such as starches and fibre and the body uses these for energy. After the post-war period, the situation in Jever improved once again. The top-selling beer was "Jever Export", which was brewed until 1990. During the 1960s, Pilsener beer became more and more popular and sales figures for Jever Pilsener increased. During this period the brewery was expanded.

Friesisches Brauhaus zu Jever was founded in 1848 by an innkeeper, Diedrich König, in the Lower Saxony town of Jever, near Germany’s north coast. In a period where most beer was supplied in barrels, Jever Brewery were one of the first to use custom bottles with a dark green colour for their beers. This early form of branding for the company is a feature that continues to this day. The brewery has gone through several owners and head brewers over the years, with one having the idea to add more hops to their brews, creating the unique ‘Frisian’ flavour they’re known for. Since the 1950s their beer has been sold worldwide, for years under the moniker of ‘Jever Export’, which was a success for the brewery until it was discontinued in the 1990s.
