It appears there are five general types of German beer - each suited to a different kind of drinker so ...
1. `"HELL" ... appropriately named ... we're talking serious stuff here - enought to test the mettle of a seasoned Stella drinker like Dave. This can suck the moisture from your brain simply by raising the glass to your lips ...
2. `"WEISSBIER" ... this tastes awful and is cloudy. A couple of pints of this would do Steph good ... he'd never complain about the Bank Top again.
3.`"HALBWEISSBIER" ... pretty much the same as Weissbier
4.`"PILSNER" ... this is your regular evening scoop ... pretty much standard fare and suitable for most palettes ... although Ian would complain it's too cold
5. `"SCHWARTZBIER" ... Now there's not many occasions when you have to take your hat off and admit to agreeing with Mossy ... but this is one. Scwartzbier is the closest they do to "mild" (except it`s still 5%) ... it tastes more like real beer than the rest ... and if it's on the menu I generally pick it.
So there it is ... my guide to German Beers
hard choices there haha. there no propper ales there?
