German Bier: January 2007 Archives

The above photo was taken in the The Klosterhof restaurant, famous for it's big servings of meat and very hospitable environment.

The bier is (obviously) a Schoefferhofer hefeweizen. I have previously posted about Schoefferhofer, however that was from Australia where the it would cost about 5 to 8 Australian dollars a bottle. Over here in Deutschland, I am looking at .75 Euro cents (or about $1.20 Australian). So as you imagine, I'm a happy man.

Radeberger is one of the first German Breweries to develop and brewed a pils.

The bier is actually quite sharp and refreshing. Its no Czech Pils, but it does very well by any standard.

Binding Lager is a from the local Frankfurt Brewery of Binding.

It is actually a pretty smooth lager in contrast to most of the 'lagers' from Australia. I am yet to come up with a definitive way to rate the biers I taste, but I'm working on it :-)

Well it didn't take me long, but I was straight onto the local bier :-)
Funny thing is just how damn cheap bier is here. The above half litre bottle of Maisels Weisse cost me the grand total of 0.79 Euro. So you can imagine that I am a happy man :-)
