Efes Draft 500ml - Case of 12

Product Information

Taste doesn't quite match the promise of the aroma. Mouth feel is a little simple. Aftertaste is also. It certainly is a bit unique...Mythos is what it reminds me of most. This is a little more bitter, but less crisp. The more I drink it, the more I like it. Actually it's really good. I'd say it's as good as a typical German pilsner such as Krombacher or Warsteiner. More refreshing with less hop punch. Based in Istanbul, Graf microbrewery was founded in 2016. They sell five beers; a Mosaic IPA, a Czech-style pilsner, an IPA, a porter, and a Belgian Blonde. There is a nice combination of well-made classics, and a few more interesting brews (the mosaic IPA in particular). Bosphorus Brewing Company Aside from its domestic market in Turkey, where it has 84% market share, [2] Efes exports to over 50 markets in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. In the UK, it is sold by the Wetherspoons pub chain. EFES Draft Beer strikes the perfect balance between being aromatic, flavourful, and smooth to drink, making it an ideal companion for your gatherings, parties, or simply to unwind after a long day.

You should always read the label before consuming or using the product and never rely solely on the information presented here. Until 2016, Turkey had never had a beer festival. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, you have to remember that Turkey is primarily a Muslim country. While it does allow alcohol (obviously), for many Turks, alcohol is taboo. Celebrating beer may have been seen as a step too far.

What Beer is Similar to Efes?

Efes is 5% abv, whether you get it from a bottle, can, or from draught. This is not always the case with beer, sometimes there is a big difference between the bottled and draught versions. Is Efes Gluten-Free?

This virtual-monopoly by Efes looks set to last for quite some time yet, but there are signs of change. The rise of craft beer in Turkey has only just started, with only a handful of craft breweries and brewpubs. But they are a great sign, and the movement even seems to be supported by Efes (who sponsored a Craft beer festival). I don’t think that craft beer will make a huge change, but even Efes admits that competition could be good for business. In addition to its flagship Pilsener, Efes also produces several other beers, including Efes Draft, semi-pasteurised for a fresh, just brewed flavour with a 6 month shelf life, Efes Dark, double-roasted malt lager with 6.5% alcohol and hints of caramel, Efes Light, a 3.0% ABV take on the original, Efes Extra, a hoppier, 7.5% ABV lager, Efes Ice, a softer, more aromatic, ice-brewed version with 4.2% alcohol, and Efes Dark Brown, a 6.1% ABV double-roasted malt lager with a distinct coffee and chocolate bouquet. While I don’t like the fact that Efes dominates the market so thoroughly in Turkey, I cannot deny that Efes is a seriously good beer. Don’t get me wrong, there are better pilsners out there. But Efes can hold its head high. Efes uses Hallertau hops from Germany, to give you that German Pilsner taste. Served ice-cold in a Turkish restaurant, it is an excellent beer. Efes Dark Brown 6.2% abvThe period between 1923 and the 1980s was dominated by political strife, with three military coups taking place. Since the 1980s, political turmoil has ended (apart from the odd attempted coup), and Turkey has thrived as a country. With massive increases in population, and closer ties with Europe.
