Originally considered a medicinal beverage, Germans and Europeans would sip on Underberg after a meal to help with digestion. The special feature of Underberg lies in the herbs from 43 countries, which pass on their natural extracts to the drink in several process steps,” write Bruns. “Each initiated family member practices these steps in their own individual way according to the traditional specifications of the company founder. That’s what makes it so special.” Underberg’s popularity promptly shot up. Within that first year, Schulte went from selling 30 to 100 cases per month. He estimates sales increased by 300 percent by year two of relaunch before eventually evening out at 120 monthly cases. It’s just one of the many quirks that make Underberg special. How Should I Drink Underberg? Photography courtesy of Underberg I’ve heard of Dungeon Masters bringing it to games to use as the Potion of Healing, so maybe there’s something there,” he says. “But Underberg tends to overlap in areas and interests and communities that are independent of each other — like it’s got this culty feel.” Underberg’s (One-Man) Invasion of Chicago

Developed by Hubert Underberg and glassblowers from Murano, Italy, the small, tulip bowl gives way to an unusually long-stemmed glass (24cm). We find the proof in the caps. According to Bruns in January 2009, more than 1,000,000 caps per month were returned to the company. “Since then, it has been mathematically correct to say that a cap is collected every three seconds,” write Bruns. In 2021, during the programs twentieth anniversary, Underberg shipped its one millionth reward. The Future of this German Digestif Photography courtesy of Underberg

Timothy Allen Underberg, 53, died in a car crash on Friday night in extreme Northwest Minnesota near Houma.

There are many bitters and digestives on the market, however, there is hardly a bitters with so many herbs included as ingredients that are left natural,” write Bruns. “Despite the bitter substances, you can taste it and it is so pleasant afterward.” The herbal elixir developed such a following that by 1860 Underberg appeared in America for the first time, arriving at a port in San Francisco.In all actuality, the tiny little amber bottles the Underberg family uses today didn’t make their way into the production process until 1949. You’ll also notice that bottles come wrapped in brown paper. This material protects the digestif from environmental contamination like sunlight and heat. Still, it doesn’t hurt to ferret for parallels. Have Underberg marketers somehow infiltrated the DnD subculture, for instance? Fjelstad hasn’t seen evidence. But some 800 miles away in Chicago, beverage consultant Seth Feldman indulges my scheming. Nyd Underberg efter et godt måltid eller i traditionelle bittersituationer, eksempelvis sammen med en øl.

Perhaps, Underberg followed a similar mantra. There is an air of mystery that surrounds this German bitter, giving it this special mystique. When something new (or in this case old) comes along where you can collect these tops, try to save 100 of them in your purse, get a piece of swag, it’s like, ‘Wow, you drank a lot of Underberg; you committed long enough to get this piece of swag,’” says Morton. The appeal among barfolk may also be explained by their oft-innate urge to flex via progressively weirder booze. Mike Elwood, former bartender at bygone Onderdonk in Queens, recalls a fellow industry pro handing him a bottle for the first time as a “tip on top of the tip” one night. Bottled at forty-four percent alcohol and part of a category of spirits known as Kräuterlikör (herbal liqueur), Underberg is often compared to Italian bitters such as Amaro or maybe even Fernet or Jägermeister. Although it’s a lesser-known spirit, Underberg has carved out a distinctive place in drinking culture.And the more Underberg drips into your mouth the more your taste buds drop down the rabbit hole. “With each drop you experience something different,” says Morton. “That’s part of the reason why Underberg is so unique.” Meant to accentuate the aromas as Underberg reaches your palette, the shape of the glass also holds a perfect single portion of the bitters.
