Keller Biel/Zwickel Bier Help

I just had this not to long ago.

Mahr's U was very good. Like you I have not had very many in this style, but loved Alpine Spring. It would be great to find some more in this style.

 

While not a Keller Biel/Zwickel Bier, per se, I definitely think you should check out Samuel Adams Triple Bock.

**I think I recall Surly Hell being quite good .. that might be your best alternative.

 

Columbus Summer Teeth is the best I've had from the style, it's an amazing lager. But it can only be found in Ohio so it probably wouldn't be easy for you to obtain unless you traded or something. It's an excellent beer though..

 

I have little experience with the style, but find Kellerbrau by Mönchshof to be quite nice.

Brooklyn's Gold Standard is pretty good, though it's draft-only.

 

I like St. Georgen Bräu a lot and bought it regularly in the states.

 

As mentioned above, Brooklyn Gold Standard (which costs about the same as gold at $15.99 a growler) is a good one, as is St Georgen Brau. My favorite is Mahr's Ungespundetes, but it's hard to find in even halfway decent shape here in the U.S. in my experience.

 

Seth,

I do not know where you are located but a summer seasonal Keller Beer that I really like is Southampton Keller Pils. I really enjoyed this beer the past couple of summers. I have not tried this year’s version yet but I am confident that it is tasty.

Cheers!

 

Surly Hell is my favorite. If you can find the Mahr's, try that one. It's very tasty.

 

Pilzilla from Voodoo
Moosbacher Kellerbier is starting to show up more in the US.

Cheers!

 

Had this beer (Arcobrau Zwickl) on draft in the Boston area last Thursday and thought it was terrific. I'd love to drink it more often.

 

“i just turned 22 and had my first craft beer about two months ago and im hooked”

Life’s a journey, enjoy the ride!

Cheers!

 

Arcobrau makes a really good one. It was available in the states for a while some time last year, haven't seen it recently though.

 

I agree with the Mahr's U and will add Les Trois Mousquetaires Kellerbier.

If you can find it, grab it. Super tasty.

 

Another vote for Summer Teeth (Broze medal at GABF in 2010).

Here's another place to start looking:

Mmm, love me a good Kellerbier. Unfortunately they are pretty hard to come by around here. I enjoyed Alpine Spring quite a bit as a really tasty refreshing beer but even that was quiet a bit different than the ones I enjoyed in Europe.
