Hmm... the "public" setting says anyone "on or off" Facebook can see it.... which is what I have it set for.... anyhow.... try the below link instead if no-go on FB....

Prosit!!

 

Takes me to Shutterfly and asks me to sign in or sign up.

You know? I'm beginning to think that you actually didn't go this year -- and this is all smoke and mirrors to hide that you have no pics to prove you did!

 

See, I WAS there! This was at Hütt'n in Nürnberg, Bratwurst Gulasch mit Knödeln and a Rittmayer Smoky George. Fan-fuckin'-tastic!




My first bier at The Fest.....


I input this URL individually.... may have to do that for all of them...

Prosit!!

 

Looks like that M-43 got some fresh starch too!

 

Dave, I just gotta ask. What beer was served to you in a Teku glass (or as @Gutes_Bier sometimes calls it: fancy pants glass). Are Teku glasses common in German bars/restaurants?

Cheers!

Jack

 

It's a "new" M-43.... new for me, but still an original.... my older one is showing more wear and tear....

 

That was the Rittmayer Smokey George ( http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12677/36815/ )




Also had a few biers at Cafe Abseits in Bamberg served in Tekus....

Prosit!

 

Tekus are getting popular all over germany with the craft beer boom-you'll see them in every restaurant and bar that offers some craft-ish stuff. Though some brewers (Craftwerk,Maisel's and Friends,Köstritzer Meisterwerke..) have kind of their own Teku-Ish glass.It seems out of place to me sometimes,like when you are at a franconian Wirtshaus with very rustic fare and decor and the usual half litre steins, and than the Tekus seem really alien

I personally love Tekus for light white wines, but for beers-I dunno. I know it is designed to be ideal for all beerstyles, but for foamy belgian style ales, I think there is not enough room for a nice head. I stile prefer a trappist chalice or goblet in most cases.

 

I completely agree with you I got a Schneider Weiss one and thought I would love it as I use a similar style glass for all my Mosel Rieslings. For my Helles and Dunkles I use a normal stein and for my Belgium Ales I seem to only use my De Struise glass.

 

Seems like you used a Chimay glass at some point.

 

It's just a prop -- notice that it has no contents.

 

Only for my 1.5 and 3L bottles. LOL
