The list below has been compiled (alphabetically) with some difficulty and also my ocr on my phone wasn't happy with the German, also if any Germans want to pitch in and add please do (like we get the traffic)
by Thomas Perera, an American who runs Knickerbocker s Bier Tours
(www.knickerbockersbiertours.de), revealing the wonders of German
beers to foreign tourists. Spoiled for choice in his adoptive home, he
admits his selection may change with the weather.
1 Azzgztstizzerbziiu Lagerbier Hall
From Munich’s oldest brewery. The Bavarians call such beer
‘rund’, or round, beer because of its full taste.
2 Barth Senger Lagerbier ‘
Brewed in the Franconian village of Schesslitz: an expertly
balanced beer, with some magic about it that’s as hard to explain
as love.
3 Doftmunder Kronen Export
The best of the last of a dying breed. A full brew, considered a
‘Workers” beer, but with the loss of coal mines and steelworks in
the area, there aren’t many workers left.
4 Fassla Lagerbier
Brewed in Bamberg, at the heart of Franconia: a wonderful beer
to raise in ‘prost’ to friends around an age—old Wooden pub table.
5 Fruh kolsch
A fruity, refreshing speciality from Cologne. Hits the spot on a
warm day and somehow also ‘fun’ to drink. Not one to sip.
6 jever Pils ‘
Brewed almost on the North Sea and as hoppy and bitter as a
true northern pils should be, with an exciting hop explosion and
a wonderful lingering aftertaste.
7 Kloster Andechs Spezial Hell
A full-bodied masterpiece from the ‘Holy Mountain’ of Andechs,
an abbey south-west of Munich. A real beergarden beer.
8 Paulaner Salvator Dopplebock
The grandfather of modern strong beers: dark, malty and
powerful, yet consumed by the litre at festivals. Good for
drinking before the fireplace on a rainy day.
9 Schlussel Alt
From Dusseldorf’s famous ‘Altstadt, a classic of the alt style and
perhaps the closest German beer to an English ale. The other
locals Im Fuchschen, Zum Uerige and Schumacher, run a close
second. Excellent with the hearty local foods."
10 Schneider Aventus Weizenstarkbier
An intricate, rich concoction. One can almost imagine this as
The brew of an alchemist monk of the Middle Ages. A great
meditative drink on cold, stormy days.
