ya Im more of a wine,gin or martini girl (note-not all together :D) ....but that always hurts me too much...think I should stick to water ha ha ha :lol:

I seem to remember getting very tipsy very quickly on a particular beer in Val D'isere. Think it was called Mutzig or something. Was later informed it was about 8%!!! :wink:

Anyone else had this brew?

Oh yes :lol: :thumbup:

Pelforth Bruin (sp) is another worth a try :D

Speaking from experience - having worked in a brewery (Inveralmond) and having judged a few beer festivals in my time, I would have to say the best beer is the free one.

Re Bandit's comment - I spent a very enjoyable summer working in France and Pelforth Brune (sp?) was the beer of choice. though locals were a bit bemused by us drinking it as it was seen then - dunno about now - as an old fellers' beer. Bit like a milk stout here, I guess.

Mutzig does some real liver-whackers but the standard brew is very, er, standard

BUT this isn't getting the job done of helping Wickers with his weiss-beer appreciation. I have to say I prefer the filtered, 'crystal' versions as opposed to the cloudy 'hefeweiss'; not sure there is much taste difference, never having lined them up for a taste test, but all that cloudiness just screams 'monster hangover' to me.

Beer of preference: the really fresh, crisp 'kolsch' type beers from Cologne... mmmm... and a Lowenbrau in Munich... must leave this thought or the afternoon will end abruptly with me going to the pub.

Shall be quaffing it in less than a fortnight.

:D

...failing that, I'm hoping the Spar opposite the Penken sells Brown Ale!

It's a loverly pic and I'm sure it tastes great but I'm going to Switzerland not Austria :mrgreen:

Some of the better ones I have tasted have come from the Munich area, I do enjoy both the Heffe and the Crystal types, I'll report back on the tastings next week :shock: :shock:
