villa4europe Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 had a day on the Alt Bier in dusseldorf saturday, 11am till 10pm on it...at least 3 of the bars i was in was a case of bier or bier, sold nothing else its good, obviously too much which meant id had enough of it come the end, would say my head was fuzzier sunday morning than what kolsch makes me and id still have kolsch out on top but it's very close dusseldorf itself i was on the street in germany that has the most bars on it and it just blurs in to one big mess, most of it on the street, 200ml beers getting 1 or 2 at a time then moving on to the next, you can have a good night out there just dont think you're going on to the pina coladas at 6pm when the beer gets too much 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at my recent transactions, seeing what the damage was for Saturday evening, Transpires that my chosen pint on Thursday night was actually £5.90, not the previously stated bargain price of £5.60. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although one day was just drinking about 12 guinnei in a sports bar, they did let us bring in pork sandwiches from next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 That reminds me I went for Sunday lunch with the inlaws in Lacock last week. They had a nice Kolsch style beer on tap by Kettlesmith Brewing Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 tried to explain this before its not so much the beer and the brewing style for me its more the serving that makes it what it is and Alt bier is exactly the same Small glass thats only 200ml to 400ml in size, swilled with cold water before pouring the cold beer, served incredibly quickly, the big brauhaus wasnt even doing orders or even had a bar there was a guy stood there with a keg just pouring beer non stop and there's several waiters loading the beers up on to round trays and when they get to 20 odd they carry them off around every table saying do you want one, its like a conveyor belt but as a result your beer is fresh and crisp and in 5 minutes its gone and they're ready with the next 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Advance warning, this post will get pelters! Back in the day there was a pub that had a more casual approach to serving under 18’s so went a lot. They used to serve a drink that I haven’t seen for years but we used to have quite a bit… Carling Premier. I just noticed Amazon are selling 24 for £16.99. I thought i’d buy a pack for old times sake as a tipple over Christmas. Link for anyone else interested Edited November 8, 2022 by Genie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 You get this in Sri Lankan restaurants sometimes. It's genuinely regarded as a World class beer, and I get the love because it's 8.8% and neither tastes like tramp juice or syrup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Working on a dram of Elijah Craig's 68% small batch. Spicey, caramel, so viscous, but easily drinkable despite its strength, just bloody wonderful. Had it at a tasting last week and couldn't say no to a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I remember was that when poured in the pub it came out with a bit of a head on it. Otherwise it tasted exactly the same, ie of absolutely nothing. Fizzy yellow water.

Follyfoot Posted November 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2022 Had this delivered today, the gold edition quite a bit more expensive than the normal but as a fan I thought I would give it a try. Tasting starts tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
