This is a perfect Bavarian tradition, Schweinebraten (Bavarian Pork Roast) with a Weiss bier, in this case a Maisel’s Wisse.

Ok first to the meat, if you’ve ever had a pork knuckle or anything similar you will know just how well the Germans cook their pork. The meat literally falls off the bone like butter off a hot knife and is a dream to eat. You will also notice the white ‘ball’ behind the pork, this is called a knoodle and is essentially a dumpling made of potato, which with gravy sauce is amazing.

Now down to the bier…. I think it’s safe to say that so long as you have a good weiss of 4 or more steins, then you can’t go wrong here. The weiss bier with the Schweinebraten is a little slice of heaven. The Maisel’s Weisse is a 4 stein bier. It’s not bad in anyway but it just lacks the complexity of say a Karg or a Franziskaner. It still has a lovely aroma of yeasty toffee and has the almost perfect texture for a weiss (which is almost that ‘chewy’ nature).
