Bärenfang〔Bärenfang — ''Likör, der Bienenhonig enthält'' (which contains honey ) 〕 is a German honey-flavoured liqueur based on vodka. It is usually called Bärenjäger in English-speaking countries. Bärenfang means “bear trap”; Bärenjäger means “bear hunter.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Bärenjäger Honey Liquer )〕 Bärenfang has an alcohol content of 30%–45% ABV (60–90 proof). In Germany, Bärenfang is often made at home since the basic recipe and many variations of it are readily available. Most homemade Bärenfang is based on vodka, but some recipes with a higher alcohol content are based on neutral spirit. Bärenfang is always made with honey from nectar because honey from honeydew may have a bitter aftertaste. ==History== Bärenfang was first developed in East Prussia in the 15th century. It was the first commercial brand of this liqueur that was produced in the capital city of Königsberg; it is now produced by the Teucke & Koenig company in the town of Steinhagen, Germany. A picture of a fur trapper trapping a bear is shown on bottles of Teucke & Koenig’s Bärenjäger. Today, Teucke & Koenig is owned by Schwarze & Schlichte, located in the town of Oelde in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Schwarze & Schlichte also make another brand of Bärenfang that is bottled at 33% ABV (66 proof). The Bärenfang produced by Teucke & Koenig is widely exported. It is usually sold under the brand name “Bärenjäger” outside of Germany. There are other producers of Bärenfang in Germany, but their products are less often available in other countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bärenfang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
