The
brewing of Wadadli is an art. Only the finest quality raw
materials are used. Water is provided by the brewery's own collection
system and desalination plant, so the entire facility is totally
self-sufficient in this precious resource. First, malted barley
is ground and fresh water is added to make "mash". The
mash is used to prepare "wort," a mixture that is combined
with hops and boiled in traditional coppers in the brewhouse. This
gives the beer its full, bitter-sweet taste. The brew is then cooled
and transferred to fermentation tanks. At this stage yeast is added
and the brew is allowed to ferment for one week. After the yeast
has been separated the young beer is transferred to cold storage
tanks at constantly controlled temperatures and allowed to mature.
The final stage involves passing the beer through extensive filtration
after which it is bottled or kegged. The entire process takes four
weeks.
