Session 19: One More New Beer From Germany
Posted by on Friday, September 5, 2008 in - 2 comments
I think this is just gold. Today, The Session, the monthly celebration of one theme by beer bloggers all around the globe...was forgotten by The Barley Blog: • I need to pay attention to my own blog announcements — I forgot that today was Session #19. Well, I didn’t really forget about the date …
Germany: Grapefruit Hefeweizen, Binding-Brauerei AG
Posted by on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 in - 7 comments
This is one of the furtherest fluids from beer that I think I have ever had the occasion to sit near. It is only 2.5%. It appears to include about 60% stuff other than hefeweizen and it is pinkish orange. The LCBO has brought in a boat load of this stuff as a cool summer drink from the wonderful … read more »
Ron Meets Zoigl And Zoigl Meets Ron
Posted by on Thursday, May 8, 2008 in - 3 comments
Ron's plate o' meat • Ron's Spring '08 central European road trip with Andy has been fun to follow but today's installment has to be the best. In it he uncovers a local brewing tradition played out in one small German region, watches people eat a lot of meat, finds a new hop-based spirit to … read more »
Germany: Korbinian, Weihenstephaner, Freising, Bavaria
Posted by on Thursday, May 1, 2008 in - leave a comment
Why not? Why can't I have two new-to-me brews by Weihenstephaner in one week? The last one was a bit of a puzzle as I figured I knew what a weizenbock was but then realized I was off. Now I face a label that says "doppelbock and "dunkles starkbier" - maybe this is the replicant of …
Germany: Vitus, Weihenstephaner, Freising, Bavaria

Troy has the story today about who Weihenstephaner is coming to Ontario for a seasonal release. The importer, Beer Barons, is new on the scene but (t)he(y) was good enough at the end of last year allowing the panel here at A Good Beer Blog study both the weisse and the dunkel carefully. We were …
Germany: St. Michaelsberg Kellerbier, Maisel, Bamburg
Posted by on Friday, March 14, 2008 in - leave a comment
Oh, goodie - another kellerbier, that unfiltered low carbonation lager, my third now. Steve Thomas tells me Maisel is Bamburg's second biggest brewery - but Maisel Bräu Bamberg GmbH appears to be different from Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel GmbH & Co. from Bayreuth. So a Maisel is not always a Maisel …
Session 13: Organic And/Or Natural From Beau's
Posted by on Friday, March 7, 2008 in - 1 comment
I am not sure what I think about all things organic. On one hand, I kept an acre vegetable garden from 1999 to 2002 that was an all organic effort and about 40% of our food came from it. On the other, organic/green/sustainable to a significant degree has about as much relevance as "new and …
Session 11: Dopplebock Mania Hits The Nations!
Posted by on Friday, January 4, 2008 in - leave a comment
“Update: Here is the roundup for this edition of the Session over at Brewvana and here is the complete history from Jay at BBB.” • OK, maybe not the nation...and maybe not even my street. I didn't even had one in the stash but I had one better, Sled Dog Trippelbock Reserve from the Wagner Valley …
Germany: Aventinus Eisbock, Schneider, Kelheim, Bavaria
Posted by on Sunday, December 9, 2007 in - 3 comments
What a difficult bottle to photograph - what with all that silver foil lettering. This is the 12% version of the Aventinus I reviewed back here in February 2006. It has shown up in Ontario as part of the LCBO's winter warmer seasonal release and at $3.95 or so for 500 ml it is a steal as The Bar …
Germany: Kellerbräu, Mönchshof, Kulmbach, Bavaria
Posted by on Wednesday, December 5, 2007 in - 1 comment
I really drink so little German beer, it is only right that I give it its own category filled with with a revisionistic retagging. And, really, what is a "quick note" anyway? You have no idea how long these posts take, the difficulty in finding a flag that you will mistake for a civic banner of a …
