What is "slow-brewed beer"?

grimstuff · Jun 4, 2012

The other day I came across one of those antique promotional bar signs, and after the name of the (now defunct Heidelberg) brewery, it said "The Slow Brewed Beer."

A google search shows a few other incidences of people using the same phrase, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what it refers to. Does it have anything to do with the actual brew process? If so, what?

Beer that takes a whole hour to brew.

If it was heidleberg it means beer that will give you a buzz at 13. Ah the good ole days.

Lagering... it's the same marketing BS as the "cold brewed" catch phrase a few use today...

I "slow-brewed" my IIPA a couple months ago. I think the brew day lasted like 8 hours from heating strike water to closing the fermenter.

A lager fermentation or an extended boil (90 minute) is sometimes marketed as "slow brewed".

Perhaps it is made by "special" brewers?

Every brew I make is fricken "slow brewed". I have to wait WEEKS and WEEKS before I can drink it!
