Wednesday’s ad is for a German pilsner, Becker, advertising in France. I have no idea when the ad is from, though 1970s is my guess based on the hat, the hair and the overt sexual overtones. It’s not exactly subtle. The ad copy, “Biè… [...]
Beer 286 – Lagunitas’ Bavarian-Style Doppel Weizen I am a really big fan of the Weizenbock style, so I was pretty excited when I heard that Lagunitas was giving the style a shot. It is such an interesting style that really captures what I like about … [...]

Memory is a shady thing, especially when a person was imbibing when they had a product. Working in retail, I have to interpret strange requests, exercising the art of decipher nearly every day. Some days I’m on, other days I just can’t translate. This category is dedicated to those sometimes strange customer requests that require special interpretation… Man walks into a beer store, says to me: “I’m looking for pflfflng.” Me: “Um, could you spell that?” Man: “P-F-H-L-I-N-G-E-R” Me: “Was it German?” Man: “Maybe.” We continue to talk beer, later … [...]
Для настоящего обзора у авторского коллектива есть два повода. Первый – календарный. Весна на улице, с крыш на граждан угрожающе ощурились «сосули», дети упорно катаются с горки, поднимая фонтаны брызг, а бухгалтерши в люрексе потащили дежурные букеты из офисов домой. Март. Второй повод – тоже мартовский. И пивной. А, именно – «Степан Разин» возвращает на [...] [...]
This week’s beer is a traditional German pilsner. This beer is a light golden color and would be considered a session beer. Hallertau hops are the only hops used in this beer and the hop character is mild.. It pairs well with crab cakes. [...]
The weather has been wacky, sometimes downright warm, but I’m still craving winter comfort food. And nothing says comfort food to me more than Eastern European food. Using that as an inspiration, here’s my latest recipe, Schnitzel with Headwall Dumpl… [...]

WHERE WOULD lovers of the world’s strongest, darkest beers be without a thin, pale German teen-ager named Sophia Augusta Frederica? [...]
For years, beer, like the proverbial cheese, has stood alone. Immune from the ever changing and expanding world of cocktails, beer has enjoyed many years of solitude as pint after pint has been consumed in all of its foamy goodness. But the times they are a changin, and beer products are slowly being introduced to [...] [...]
(Easton, PA) – Weyerbacher has a blog post detailing the upcoming release of their Uniform Roggenbier. According to the post, this one is not a true Roggenbier, as they call it a “hoppy interpretation of a German-style Roggenbier”. Release is set … [...]

Nostalgia has no quarter with Max Raabe. That might seem peculiar for an opera-trained German baritone who has made an unlikely international career singing popular songs of the 1920s and ’30s with note-perfect authenticity – the tunes heard in the n… [...]

I like the idea of having lots of different wild homebrew aging in the cellar. Just hanging out down there, slowly maturing and developing. Not in bottles as finished beer, but in bulk. Ageing on different fruits and in different woods, ageing at the h… [...]
Perhaps, in a few decades time, some German writer will transform Michael Skibbe’s excruciatingly brief tenure as manager of Hertha BSC into a bestselling novel, as David Peace so memorably did with Brian Clough and The Damned United. Or perhaps not. [...]
