Festool and Beer?

[h.gil]

Guys, in your travels to the motherland, after you are done with business and whatnot and you go out for a beer with the Festool boys... what beer is it that everyone drinks?
Or to rephrase: What is the local brand of beer for the area where Festool HQ is located?

To be honest, I've not paid attention to the brand of beers. I believe most of what I've had has been locally brewed.

For instance, here's a place I've eaten (and drank) at numerous times that near HQ in Germany.

Meh, it's Germany. Gonna be very difficult to pinpoint it down to a single beer. They have SOOO many there. They got some German beers that are very popular over the entire country and then they have beers that are popular in their states, and then there are beers that are mostly only locally known.

Almost every town over there in Germany has at least one brewerey, and when I google for "beer Wendlingen" it brings up the brand Waldhorn that they brew there.

PS - I'll be back there in about a month. I'll try to pay closer attention to what I'm putting in my mouth and report back.

Down here, beer that is too new in that it has not matured after brewing is known as 'green beer'. But it most certainly does not have the taste and quality of the other green product often discussed on this forum.

You folks drink beer?? I am shocked!

Yeah,Can't say I am not jealous. Please keep am eye out for whatever brew is marketed/mass-produced over there.

There is a "cooltainer" that holds beverages.

Where can I look into getting one of these devices?

I did see the Winetainer previously

Ah the Esky is what I've been wanting, is it NAINA?

 

[wow]

There is a "cooltainer" that holds beverages.

And - let me guess - it's NAINA?

In this case it's OK. I am of German heritage, but I don't like beer - or sauerkraut!

 

[semenza]

I don't see any cooltainers listed by the US dealers. I don't think there is a T-Loc version.

The Esky is NAINA.

In the late 80's or early 90's I visited a U.S. distributor of a premiere German machine tool company that held a big week long open house.  It was setup by the German reps and they brought over dozens of brands of their beers along with a big spread of German foods in a buffet.  It was INCREDIBLE! The food was exceptional and the beer I would rank anywhere from great to fantastic! 

Shane, While you are at Festool Germany drop a few hints for them to do a similar event in Indiana -- I'll be there!  [smile]

That's not what I was referring to. That's just a cooler with Festool written on it. There's an insert for SYS 2 and 3 (if I remember correctly) that will hold cans and bottles. There's also an insulated Systainer that just has an open compartment that could be used for beverages. Since I'm not heavily involved in Tanos, I don't know if they are AINA or not. But, I have seen them before in person.

Here are a couple of pictures of my favourite beer container holding some of one of the best beers in the world.

If nothing else, they serve beer there in the right portions, a liter or half liter at a time. And, it is quite good. Hefeweizen!
