    Stopped in Salem today and the XIV Lager is damn good. Highly suggest getting around to try it if you get the chance.

    How is it!?

    I’ve had it on Stichfass twice and it was very good.

    OMG, it might be the best beer I've had at Notch! The extra time makes the head so creamy, almost nitro.

    Not joking when I say the French Disko stichfass and ludicrously lagered marzen are among the best beers I’ve had here this year. Get your butts here and drink these.

    Also, the beer garden is kid zoo at the moment. Some real shitty parenting

    I’ll go to my grave saying batch 1 of Biere d’Alsace was the best lager ever made.

    That was the information I had at the time :slight_frown:

    Glad it's out, looking forward to trying it. Been out of the country.

    Notch Salem Lager Helles, 4.5% - what a phenomenal beer! Cheers! :beers:

    [​IMG]

    -Look: Crystal clear shiny-gold color, fizzy white cap that drops fast.
    -Smell: Baked bread, white wine, grassy hops.
    -Taste: Delicious grassy hops spread on dry bread crust!
    -Feel: Light and thin like a delicate Riesling, slippery and fast.
    -Overall: Phenomenal Helles, so drinkable and delicious - what a beer!

    *Unbeatable for $18.99 a 12-pack and 3-weeks old at TW! :beer:

    New Northern German pils on Stichfass tonight. Made it for French Disko on Stichfass last week, can I make it two weeks in a row tonight?

    Just listened to the Beer and Brewing Podcast with Chris from Notch....hearing how much care and attention they put into their beers is absolutely amazing. Definitely made me want to take a trip there and enjoy a few pints. He made their beers sound so spectacular, I gotta pay them a visit again.

    Was just there. I was disappointed by their spot on Hef and Rauch Helles.
