Coma 1,766 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 This weekend was the start of Oktoberfest Zinzinnati so the German section was pretty thin. Seems like the Hofbräu beers are the most popular here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palm is Belgian, so no surprise there It was one of the main choices for parties in our student halls in Holland, and we used to get cases of it from the nearby Spar just a few meters away Quite surprised you haven't heard of Schlenkerla though, to be honest! A very traditional brewery with a very unique taste profile. Literally like drinking a BBQ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something I'd want to drink regularly, but definitely worth trying just for the unique taste alone. Campfire, BBQ, spare ribs, bacon. First things that come in mind It surely isn't for everyone, similar to smoky, peated scotch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it just wasn't on my radar before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted September 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 21, 2021 So about that Schlenkerla. I have two questions. Is it unique? Would you drink it regularly? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you drink it regularly? No it isn't. It's an usual Rauchbier from one of multiple breweries, albeit the best known.

Augustiner is supposedly the oldest brewery in Deutschland. It was pretty malty. Not sure I'd buy it again. Edit: Correction, oldest independent brewery in München.

Eco 3,008 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Bought a 24 pack of these. Funny enough, I grabbed a case at the store and went to check out. The guy told me that you are supposed to buy them in the 6 packs which was how it was sorted inside, I told him buying it this way was easier to carry than 4 individual 6 packs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I got isn't a Helles. I think that's the difference.

I just looked it up. It's a Doppelbock. ABV is 7.5% compared to this Helles which is 5.2%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
