    Rotbier has been added! Personally, I'm stoked as I love this malty, bready/biscuity, German-style red lager with roots that go back to the Middle Ages. And, as many of you know, they've seen a slight resurgence in recent years, but we need more of them!

    There was one year I saw them popping up a few years ago. Never prevalent but I think I had 2-3 that year. None seen, or had since :slight_frown:

    Is it socially acceptable in Germany to Tucher Naturtrubes in public?

    Observations wandering around Bamberg says yes. Street drinkers often drink it as it is cheap. More favor Fässla because it is also cheap, sometimes is stronger, and is local.

    Rotbier is lost on me. Schantzenbräu Rotbier is tolerable though. I do enjoy the Schlenkerla Weichsel Cherry Wood smoke Rotbier, as I like the smoke beers.

    I'm liking all of these new style updates!

    I've had a few Franconian Lagers before. Would these be considered the same style as Rotbier? Some examples that I recall are Forest & Main's Strange Rituals and Cinderlands Beer Co.'s Pittsburghenstrasse.

    Tucher Beers are of very good quality and are reasonably priced for an import. The Dopple Bock and Festbier are well worth a look.

    This is my only Rotbier so far, a filtered version would be interesting. Cheers.
