A new view on the world of beer.
German Pilsener, Wernesgrüner Brauerei (Bitburger), Germany, 4.9% ABV Though not well known in the US, as far as I can tell, Wernesgruner is a well established and prized German Pilsener. Pouring a clear, pale yellow with a big, bright white, rocky head, this is the picture of a German Pilsener. The flavor is much along [...]
A 1L can of Paulaner Weiss Bier to keep me company on this chilly day.
Pilsner, Mahr Brau, Bamberg, Germany 4.9% Having no Irish beer in the house, I celebrated St Patty’s day with a Pilsner, it was just too hot in the apartment to have a heavier beer. The beer pours a sparkling yellow with plenty of pillowy white head, an inviting sight. Raising the glass to your nose [...]
Weizen-Bock, Brauerei Aying, Germany 7.10% ABV This is a German hefeweizen made for the winter, and while I really did not find it different from the regular hefeweizen, it does have its own standout characteristics. The word Bock is an indication of a stronger style of another style, example, maibock. This wheat beer comes in [...]
Friends visiting from California plus the wife and I headed down to Redlight Redlight to celebrate the passing of 2009. There was much drinking, of course. Some good, some not so much. My first beer for the evening was Oskar Blue’s Ten Fidy, a stout with a liking for coffee. I found the body to [...]

Munich Helles Lager, Augustiner-Bräu Wagner KG, Germany A light golden beer with a fluffy pure white head, Edelstoff was a trip back to Europe for me. The taste and body were very light, much like Gosser or other beers I described in my recent blog about my trip to Hungary this September. Unlike Gosser, Edelstoff [...]
Doublebock, Klosterbaruerei Wetenburg, Regensburg, Germany 6.9% ABV As it turns to fall, if there is such a thing in Florida, I like to start enjoying some heavier beers. Bocks and Doublebocks are perfect for fall, they speak to me of changing leaves and roasted nuts. For some reason I have always associated roasting nuts more [...]
Weizenbock, Brauerei Weihenstephane, Germany This is the dunkel version of Weihenstaphane’s wheat beer, with quite a strong kick, 7.7% abv. The beer pours a dark yellow, with a lot of pillowy head, and has the usual scent of banana, citrus and spices that is common for German wheat beers. The taste is noticeably sweet, an [...]
This is the most recent of Brooklyn’s Brewmaster’s Reserve beers. From what I heard Garrett Oliver (Brooklyn’s brewmaster) is a big fan of Manhattans, but he is an even bigger fan of beer, so he set out to create a fusion of the two. Mind you Manhattan Project is all beer, it does not contain [...]
A couple of weeks ago was possibly to most active week I’ve had in a long while, I had met a new friend and drinking buddy through a mutual friend a couple of weeks ago. I will refer to him as Pot (*names have been changed to protect the innocent). On a Wednesday, Pot and [...]
