I can’t say I’ll be sorry to see this winter pass. With all the snow, cold, and flooding here at Klutzbrau HQ over the last three months, one might say I’m a little eager for some sun and lazy evenings. One might even have noticed me sitting at the c… [...]
In an attempt to retain my rather minimal German, I like to occasionally read the German news or stumble upon Germanic blogs. Today I perused some Bier blogs and found a few items that caught my attention. The first was a special release for a German soccer event – Lorenz Bier Geschmack Crunchips. That’s right, [...] [...]

Блондиночка
Сегодня маленький рассказик о втором французском пиве с незатейлевым названием Blonde. Почему коротенький, потому что бутылочка малюленькая в 0,25л. Да и рассказывать особо нечего. Пиво явно для блондинок женщин. Я лично не представляю нормального мужика, с такой залипуточной бутылочкой пива. Не, есть и такие, но мужиками их назвать трудно. А вот для женщины это самый [...] [...] Read more →

Critics Choice Countdown #2
Number two in the Critics’ Choice Top 100 is the Stone & Wood Pacific Ale. Last year’s number one beer has raised the bar for Australian beers, the essence of this original style lies somewhere in the heart of Byron Bay, and more and more Australians are taking some home. The Brewer’s notes talk of being “inspired by our home on the edge of the Pacific Ocean and brewed using all Australian barley, wheat and Galaxy hops, Pacific Ale is cloudy and golden with a big fruity aroma and a refreshing finish.” Brews News editor, Matt Kirkegaard, writes “there are plenty of ‘limited edition’ beers that seem to be easier to come by in bottle shops than this little gem. The critics have voted for the best beers in this book, but the beer drinking public have voted in bottleshops and pubs across the country.” “Small brewer. Next-to-no marketing. Can’t keep it on the shelves. There is no finer accolade for a beer than that, the rest is just words.” Select venues around the country will be launching the Critics’ Choice by featuring the top 12 beers on March 30. The Critics’ Choice: Australia’s Best Beers RRP $14.95 Available April [...] [...] Read more →
