Here is another German beer for you sample. I saw some other reviews on beeradvocate that I found pretty widely dispersed. I guess this goes to show that we must taste these beers for ourselves to give it a rating. Each of us likes and tastes stuff differently. Well, Uerige apparently makes this beer specifically for [...]
This is one of what seems to be a billion beers that is imported by the Shelton Brothers. They have a link on their site to more information about the brewer as well as to the official website of the brewers themselves. They go on to describe that the brewery is in Franconia (which has [...]
Nate was right in asserting that I had reviewed Aventinus. However, I actually reviewed the Eisbock version of this beer. So, as much as this and the Eisbock are similar, they are not actually the same. This beer is less intense, less thick, and less strong. Don’t let that statement fool you; this beer is still a beer [...]
Not your average Wheat beer. Schneider and Sohn’s makes a very nice lines of beers, which are not necessarily conventional. There are so many good beers that come out of Germany, especially Bavaria, it is hard to call one great. However, this particular brew is one example of German beers at their finest. This beer is [...]
In order to continue our style series and given that we just drank a Double Bock, I think that a discussion on Bock beers is appropriate. First of all, a Bock is still in the family of Lagers. Although top fermenting (i.e., Ale Yeast) can be be used in this beer at cooler temperatures, it [...]
Typically, this style of beer doesn’t hold rank in my “favorites” category, but I was pretty excited to drink it. It has been a long time since I last had this beer. I vaguely recall picking it up shortly after I discovered the world of beer outside of canned pilsner. I am sure back then [...]
Guilt has been weighing on our consciences here at Thank Heaven for Beer after our flirtation with evil a couple weeks as we drank and promoted that blood sucking beer, Nasfuratu. Pennence in mind, this week we bring you a highly acclaimed and most delicious beer–Celebrator–put out by Ayinger. This beer, called the Pope of [...]
Das Beer! That’s about all the German I know, but all I need. As I poured Spaten’s Oktoberfest into my goblet, I was a little surprised. I was expecting to see a clear golden lager but instead a beautiful clear amber brew filled the glass with minimal head. I believe in the past Spaten has [...]
