So I did some shopping today. And like I usually do, I had my FOG cap on and my Festool sweater. I stopped in the beer cooler and started looking for a new beer to sample. I try to pick a new beer every time I can. I came across HOFBRAU MUNCHEN. It's a German beer. I never had it and thought to myself "well I know they make great tools, so the beer must be great!"
Just popped open my first Hofbrau Munchen and it's very tasty! I will be picking up another six pack on my next trip to the store. Now wouldn't it be cool if Festool came out with a 6 pack systainer cooler! Promo item, complete with a variety of German beer.......
Any body have a German beer that they can suggest?

Mmm, beer
I like our domestics but I do enjoy the German and Dutch beer.
HB is good, just bought some of their Dunkel (dark).
Weihensthephaner, Hefe Weissbier is very hoppy, and Kristall Weissbier (have but not tried yet) is a brand that World Market has,
They are the oldest brewery in the world 1080 I think is when they started.
Spaten is another brand I really like, Oktoberfest is my favorite bier and that's how I found them.
I all of these 3 are from Munich too.

Recently visited Munich and went to the Hofbrauhaus, a beer garden that seats 3200 thirsty patrons. Downed a few Hofbras and by the time I stumbled out I swear there were 6400 or more. Food was great too.   |

To truly sample Bavarian beers one MUST go to Bavaria!
I spend a lot of time in Frankfurt. Few weeks ago I took the ICE (at 192 mph+!!) to Munich/Munchen. Beer and BMW's... does life get any better?
I felt obligated to come home and buy more green tools!

There are some very nice German beers indeed, but the best are from Belgium. Truly a class apart.

Here's a topic I've got some experience with  . Ayinger Weizen-Bock is one of my current fav's. Ayinger has a great dark beer too, Altbairisch Dunkel. You can't go wrong with Weihenstephan beers either. If you want to try something really unique, Kulmbacher has a really good EisBock. ... all this talk about beer has made me thirsty  |

You'll notice some interesting correlation between fine beers and quality engineering geographically ... the inverse also seems to apply ... further, I feel beer making skill improves directly in line with engineering advancement throughout the Asian regions that I've sampled. I can only conclude that making fine beer is a precision activity ... and I really appreciate precision  |

The Germans drink their beer at room temp or if they like it a little cooler, the store it in their unheated cellars. I like it that way as it really brings out the flavor. When we go to Germany, we stay with the outlaws and they get their beer from local brewery. it is delivered to their door every day or two. when we go there, we usually stay a week. If we stay any longer, I would have to go home in the luggage bay. the beer over there is like those potato chips that "you can't eat one."

Love the german weisbiers but truly great bear comes from the Belgian abbeys, My favorites include Rochefort 10 Trappist, Chimay Bleu and Westmalle Tripel Trappist I do thoroughly enjoy the dark ales from the Brittish Isles as well, like the Traquair Jacobite Ale from Scotland, and my everyday favorites on the light end are Fullers ESB, Boddingtons Pub Ale & John Smiths Smoothties - Mmmmmh, beer Thank goodness my local pub happens to be one of the three best stocked pubs in the country Gallows Bird so I don't need to even drive anywhere to enjoy the whole wide world of beers  Wish I could get proper salt 'n' vinegar crips here - I have to haul a suitcase full of Walkers Crinkles over every time I visit the UK  |

What is the oldest brewery in USA? Hint: Starts with a Y.
Yuengling? For an american beer,that's some good stuff! True story: I grew up near the Yuengling brewery, and back in the mid-1970s, when my high-school buddies and I started drinking, Yuengling had a reputation of being the pits. Worse than, say, Schaefer. Everyone I knew thought so, and so did their dads (and in my town, the moms, too). It was extremely inexpensive because just about nobody wanted to buy it. Then when I was in my 20s, I got invited to dinner at the home of some friends who were macrobiotic, and believed in eating local, natural foods. When the husband offered me a beer, I was shocked--yeah, actually shocked--that it was a Yuengling. He explained, "don't you know, they're brewed according to the German purity law," or something like that. So I gave it a try, and it was good beer! And it was still cheap back then, in the mid-1980s. Then people caught on, demand rose, and the price increased to what the other good beers sold for. I can't believe the amount of Genessee and Rolling Rock my high-school buddies and I drank when we could have been drinking Yuengling instead! Regards, John |

Went to a new store today. Earth Fare. It's a new grocery store in my area. Organic store like Trader Joes. And picked up a new beer for myself.
A natural wheat beer. Paulaner Munchen Hefe-Weizen. Very good! Thanks for the suggestions. I'm always on the look out for a new brew.

I found out about a month ago that I have celiac disease and had to remove all wheat from my intake. There went beer.  But wait! I've since found two Gluten-Free flavors under one Belgium label that are quite good. Greens Discovery and Greens Quest. They also have a darker variety called Greens Endeavor, I think it is, but I haven't tried it yet. Side-effect bonus. I've lost a little over 10 pounds in one month. |

My favorite is Stella Artois which is a Belgium beer. Next would be Warsteiner which is a German pilsner.
