    Went crazy over this beer a few years back. Have any of you had RECENTLY? I'm hoping it didn't change, the brewer was really dialed in on this beer.

    Oldest brewery in the world, I highly doubt change is anywhere in their playbook:wink:! Cheers

    Good point. Wish it worked like that for premium cigars, too.

    I have had this several times over the years and I can confirm that it's still incredible!

    A must-grab every time I see it. A pretty beer in the glass, and delivers some very unique and pronounced yeast notes for the style.

    Great beer. Finding this on tap would be a dream come true.

    Probably because it's non-adjuncted, non dry-hopped, non-barrel-aged, lagered and less than 10% ABV :stuck_out_tongue:

    They are only open Friday nights, unless they have a special weekend event.

    4.20? I think there's a bias to favor: (1) Newer beers that most people have not had a chance to try; (2) Very expensive beers. I wouldn't sweat the rankings.

    Much better than the 3.79 it has on Untappd

    Yeah, Untappd can be pretty worthless for traditional beers. Because...
    ...if this applies to BA, I think it doubly applies there. If it's not trendy or checks one of the above boxes, Untappd thinks it's comparatively garbage.

    Yeah, untappd ratings are pretty bogus and, for the most part, worthless.

    Korbinian is really solid. Haven't had it in quite some time...time to go on the lookout

    I’m embarrassed to admit that I just learned of this place. Is it open to the public? Or is it like a club where you need a membership of sorts?
