Prost,
Now your talking..
Erich, FYI in home brewing there
is liquid yeast from Weihenstephaner, Y yeast, They had 12 different
strains of German types.
Reinheitsgbot, best law ever past.. I'll drink to that.. and to Pilsner
Urquell,, "The Beer of Kings"
Most American microbrews also
follow that law..
Still nothing like a a homebrew that you can make with a "Nose" hops, let
it age for 6 months.

Hey Andy,
Haven't ever tried their light, since I don't usually like them.
Although I can do a Hacker Pschorr (sp?) weiss if it's on tap (it's no
Dunkel, but in a pinch...). Franziskaner Dunkel Weiss is probably my
favorite beer over all; and I even know of one German beer and brat
place in Northern WI that has it on tap!!! First time I went there my
jaw just about hit the floor, ... of course the tap was out of order, so
that was followed by my forehead hitting the table. But the next trip
up all was well. In fact, to be on topic, there's a pretty decent hot
shop just a short walk from there.
Maybe I'll try the Hefe one of these days, just to see if I can stomach
it. Our local (sort of) booze and wine shop carries the Hefe in six
packs of the small bottles (12 oz.?), but they don't stock the Dunkel in
anything other than the pint bottles. With all the German blood flowing
around these parts you'd think somebody.... Aw well, I won't get started
on that again. ;-)))
Ever tried Weihenstephaner or Kostritzer?
