Brauerei Berger: Vollbier Hell* and Märzen Spezial


Those two beers are produced in a small brewery in the German countryside called Brauerei Berger (the hill brewery). Those 500ml bottles were gifted to me by Andreas (whose surname, Pelzberger, is not really related to the brewery, unfortunatly LOL), one of the very first beers he brought me, even before he decided it was a good idea to collect beer bottles and started his own collection.

Vollbier (means Full beer in German) is a non-filtered classic bavarian helles contains 5,1 % alcohol, and the Märzen Spezial is the traditional 5,6% seasonal beer produced during the month of March (as the name says).

Those two bottles stayed in my shelf for quite long before I cataloged them... in fact, it was the other day, when I was cleaning up the house (and therefore taking a closer look at my bottles) that I realized the mistake... all of a sudden I had 2 new lables to copy down before I would forget to do it again, two more names in direction of the beer number 500.

By the way, I have to say... very good beer! Both of them, really good, too bad the brewery is so small I couldn't even find a website for it, but I'll keep on searching.

Hofbräu Original Münchner*


With the end of the Oktoberfest 2010, I bring to you this 500ml bottle of the Original Münchner beer (5,1% alcohol) produced by one of the most (if not the most) traditional breweries of Munich.

Hofbräuhaus, also know by the short way HB, is one of the touristic points in Munich, and though their website doesn't show the products, it contains some funny stories and curiosities... it's worth checking.

Schneider Weisse - Aventinus*


Schneider Aventinus, or Tap 6, is a weiss doppelbock beer, one of my favorite types of beer, it's a seasonal type, produced in march for the Bavarian festival 'Starkbierfest'.

This is a 500ml bottle of one of the most awarded starkbiers (check the link below to see the prizes), with 8,2% alcohol, this is one of the beers that everyone should try.

Paulaner Oktoberfestbier*


The Oktoberfest starts tomorrow! And celebrating 200th years since the festival was created to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe Hildburghausen!!!

As promised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yoLU7JSZlg

Every big brewery in Munich has its own oktoberfestbier, and this year Paulaner offered this 1 liter mug as a gift with every package of twenty four 500ml bottles of oktoberfestbier.

As the name suggests, Oktoberfestbier is a type of beer produced specially for Oktoberfest, the biggest and more famous public festival in the world; it has 6,0% alcohol and, I must say, it's no sacrifice at all to drink 24 of these to get the mug...

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier - Märzen *

The city of Bamberg, in Franconia, Germany, is famous for their regional smoked beer. It contains a very interesting taste that goes very well with sausages, ham, salami and smoked meat in general.

The best quote about this beer I heard from a Brazilian friend: "Shit man, cancel the appetizers we ordered! This beer already has the salami in it"

The Schlenkerla brewery is one of the Bamberg breweries and this is a 500ml bottle of the 5,1% smoked Märzen beer they produce.
