Your Hefeweizen

Hopcat Heff

 

Pass on the wedge. I understand the novelty, but I have no need for it. Unless it comes on the rim of my Erdinger or something I'm not going to make a big deal- it's fruit for fruits sake.

 

depends on the beer. After trying this beer i always get blue moon with a lime rather than an orange.

 

My neighbors like the radlers and especially a beer by Karlsberg called Mixery which is a Pils/cola blend. I have tried it and it is just too sweet. In the summer I also see the locals order a hefe on tap or pour it out of the bottle and add Coke to it. One of my German friends drinks a hefe that is made to be drank from the bottle and it is mixed with grapefruit juice. Not good.

As for myself no fruit.

 

It's deja vu all over again.

Redundancy, the backbone of the internet.

 

In Southern Germany they call that a Diesel -- in fact, I heard it called that not too far from you in Würzburg.

In a word, yeck.

 

Especially here on our favorite forum, that reminds me, has anyone else noticed Weihenstephaner being less Weihenstephanery this year?

 

i like mine naked

 

As far as I know it's called a Diesel almost everywhere, was the same in Berlin, Kassel and Aachen.
disgusting.

Just because it is Germany does not mean that the masses are any less susceptible marketing and drinking bad beer than in the US. A vast majority drinks the likes of becks, mixed/fruit beer drinks.

 

In much of the former East Germany it's called -- perhaps more appropriately -- a "dreckiges" (transl. a "dirty" beer)

 

Heh much more appropriate, I can only speak for central and western Germany.

 

Nothing!

 

I prefer mine garnished with a live goldfish.

 

I did that once, kind of by accident. Was served a wit at a place I was a regular, from my regular bartender, with some piece of fruit. I tried to say "what the hell is that on my glass" in a funny way, but it came out in an assholish way. So, I made sure I tipped good and all was well. About a week later, Im there, different wait staff, new ones in fact who I havent seen before. I order a wit, it comes unfruited. Everyone else is getting fruit on their beer.

They never fruited me again. I felt bad about it at the time, but mission accomplished.

 

I prefer mine with weisswurst. When I can get it. Mmm mm.

 

Having fruit in my hefe is a travesty. Straight up or nothing.

 

I'm brewing a blood orange Hefe right now...I already put the damn fruit in it. Done your job for you barkeep. Keep it simple.

 

You had me at "Dreck." Crossover linguistics is so informative!

 

That sounds pretty good.

 

Kein Obst!


(If this ^ means anything other than "no fruit" I apologize)
