Let's Give Lagers Some Love (2024)

I agree. I have purchased a couple of Tucher brands and have enjoyed them: Hefeweizen, Festbier.

I have discussed those beers in past NBW threads:

I have yet to see Tucher Pilsner at any of my local beer retailers. Have you?

Cheers!

 

I had that beer as well at the Logjammin' Lager Beer Festival in Philly this past June. I enjoyed that small pour.

Cheers!

 

Right now yes the plan is this weekend, thought a pils for playoff baseball would be a good pairing

 

Sly Fox would agree with you:



Go Phillies!!

Cheers!

 

I had this back in august I never review beers because I have a hard time describing all the things you guys taste but I like to compare to beers I have had in the past. This one reminds me of paulaner pils. I prefer the more bitter northern German examples.

 

Which brands are your favorites?

Cheers!

 

when comes to imported German Pilsner I would say konig or veltins.

 

I really enjoyed this beer this weekend @Cstamp3084, I do agree with your assessment that it leans towards more balanced hop character.

The bitterness was tame but it did have a nice grassy character on the finish that I really enjoyed. What a pretty beer too; crystal clear way above average retention and lacing. Here’s the evidence from Sunday

 

The last time I had this Flensburger Pilsner it was in a swing top bottle and was just ok.


This canned version is a lot fresher I guess. Really good example of the style, at least in cans.

 

Pacifico, on tap for $2. Cheers!

 

Goose Island Full Pocket Pilsner. Really enjoying this one. Cheers to lagers!

 

I'm on a lager roll.

 

Bargain stablemates! Someone should do a taste comparison.
(I'm not volunteering; no Hamms in my neighborhood.)

 

It's been a few days since a lager appreciation post on my part, so here it goes. Goose Island Full Pocket Pilsner. Cheers to lagers!

 

In financial support of a great brewery that needs a little help: Urban Chestnut DorfBier, Bavarian Dunkel.


Bready, mellow caramel, light balance of herbal hops with minimal bitterness. Most importantly -- no roasted character. A rare American interpretation of the style.

 

Is there a story behind that?
