    Yes. That beer is 6+ months old. I had a 4-pack at about 4 months after the canning date and it tasted great.

    I really can't rate them because I like so many of them equally. I can say that if it weren't for German Lagers I never would've started drinking beer regularly.

    This is almost my exact list, but I need to try Andechs, and Erdinger doesn't do quite enough for me to be included. And I'd put Hacker Pschorr above Paulaner.

    1. Weihenstephaner
    2. Ayinger
    3. Aecht Schlenkerla
    4. Hofbrau
    5. Hacker Pschorr
    6. Paulaner
    7. Schneider

    Where are you finding this? Or, are you located in the country of Georgia in Eastern Europe/Western Asia?

    I had it when I was in Germany. No, I'm in U.S. Georgia

    Wow . . . I have not seen this yet. I just bought a case of bottles and there is only one date.

    I’m surprised how few lists in this thread have Jever on them. It’s probably my favourite easily accessible German beer in my neck of the woods.

    1. Schneider (Aventinus Weizenbock; Tap 5; Eisbock:wink:
    2. Weihenstephaner (Korbinian Doppel; Vitus Weizenbock; Hefeweissbier Dunkel)
    3. Paulaner (Salvator; Fest Bier; Fest Marzen; Munchner Hell)
    4. Aying (Celebrator Doppel; Weizenbock; Dunkel)
    5. Hacker-Pschorr (Animator Doppel; Hubertus Bock)

    Top 5, would love to try more imports but craft crowding has forced out most of the import selection to the bigger brewers.
