Also I have that exact pint glass I suspect that Wisconsin called Bavaria and asked permission to put the Hofbrau logo on their can. It was only OK. Samuel Smith pint glass?

It was a gift and I expect yours too had the bottom logo flake off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for American German knockoffs I had tried some fantastic Goses when I lived in Georgia. I don’t remember the breweries though, Sour Asylum Series by Three Taverns, I think They were pretty authentix though, but they did have many iterations and riffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of sours or fruit beer in general but I have been known to trade in my man card from time to time. I've got a thing for Leinenkugel Summer Shandy.

They are from Leipzig and typically have a more salty than sour profile, some aren't even sour at all. It actually went out of existence for a while after WW2. It isn't a fruit beer, that's an American addition. Edited February 21, 2022 by Spike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted April 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2022 Trying this one for the first time. Hannen Alt existed from 1725 until 2005. It was revived in April 2022 after another brewery bought the name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that the Carlsberg group did continue Hannen Alt after all. But this year they gave it to a different brewery, and it's now being brewed again where it was from originally. https://www.about-drinks.com/carlsberg-deutschland-uebergibt-hannen-alt-und-gatz-altbier-an-privatbrauerei-bolten/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite malty and tastes stronger (like in taste, not as in strong alcohol) than some other Altbier. I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,604 Posted June 2, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2022 In that regard. First time in a beer garden this year. I was shocked how many people were absolutely hammered on a Thursday evening. But that place is know for their "regular costumers" . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
