Dortmunder Export

Dortmunder Export is a pale lager first brewed in 1873 in Dortmund, Germany, characterized by its soft texture and influence from Pilsner lager. After being the most popular beer type in Germany post-World War II, its popularity declined but saw a slight revival in the late 2000s. It is considered a distinct beer style, with brewers outside Germany also producing similar pale lagers under the Dortmunder name.

Dortmunder Export

Dortmunder Export or Dortmunder is a pale lager originally brewed


by Dortmunder Union in Dortmund, Germany, in 1873. It is a soft-
textured beer influenced by the Pilsner lager brewed in Plzeň.

History
After World War II, Export was the most popular type of beer in
Germany until 1970, when it was supplanted by Pils.[1] Its fortunes
have revived a little since its low point of the late 1990s. In 2008, just
under 10% of the beer sold in German shops was Export.[2]

Dortmund style beers


Fred Eckhardt in A Treatise on Lager Beers, published in 1969, set out
the view that Dortmunder is a distinctive enough pale lager to be
classed as a separate beer style.[3]

Michael Jackson and Roger Protz continued the trend, although with a
certain faint heart, uneasy at pinning down exactly the distinctive
nature of the beer.[4][5][6]

Brewers outside of Germany who brew beers they term Dortmunder


will tend to brew a pale lager with a soft, rounded character.
