I think this pic was around noon after I had finished up some landscaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,561 Posted October 4, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 4, 2021 I should have taken a picture but a local brewery here had a weird one. It was a German oktoberfest inspired IPA but it was different it wasnt bitter and wasnt really hoppy. They said it was for the festivals for people that didnt want to drink lagers but is obviously far easier to drink in bulk then a traditional IPA. I still dont know if I liked it but it was strange. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,634 Posted October 12, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 12, 2021 Now there's a new beer coming out tomorrow, that I have to try. A special edition of "Schlüssel Alt". They only brew it once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma 1,767 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just had my first taste of Rothaus Tannenzäpfle. That's a fucking great beer. I usually find Pilsners to be thin on flavor and largely forgettable. Wow. My "getting drunk tonight" beer has been Stella but I may have to rethink that.

How tastes are different; I'd say that about most branches of Helles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Altbier is the way. I like some Pils, and they're great refreshments, especially an ice cold one on a hot day. But flavour wise, Altbier, or other dark beers (to some degree) are the way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted October 20, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 20, 2021 I just love beer in general. Pilsner, Helles, Alt, Schwarzbier, Weißbier, Bock, any other sort - there's a time and place for all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's possible that I just haven't found the good ones. The American beer market is so saturated with IPA's and no one seems to have any time for much else. I'm guilty of that.

I'm a big fan of porters, bocks, and other dark beers in winter. I tend to drink lighter ales, IPA, and lagers in summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma 1,767 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 The wife and I went to a Christkindlmarkt put on by our local Germania society yesterday afternoon and I had some Bitburger on draft. It was OK. The currywurst with sauerkraut was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued though, maybe we miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
