Gotcha. What are your favorite german beers?


I am curious to hear this too. 

Where I sit, in the larger cities you can get a small selection of German beer, but I've come to discover that I much prefer beer on tap.  My tastes are also changing with beer, and I much prefer craft beers.  But I am curious to see if any of my favorite German beers, from when I was in Germany, are the same as Manuels

I don't actually have any favorite brands, but since I'm from Bavaria I tend to prefer Bavarian (Erdinger, Franziskaner etc.) and Czech brands.
I like "dunkles Weizenbier" (dark wheat beer) and "Bock" type beers.

Franziskaner


That's one of the few beers my wife actually likes.  She usually hates the taste of beer.

manuel

Nice! So she has good taste!  ;D

Bock beer in my opinion is VERY. Strong tasting, bordering on the line of tasting like hard alcohol. You can get a 7% here and it tastes way stronger than a 9.5% Belgian style triple that you can also get here.  Not a bad taste, but very strong tasting.

I drank 2 8% FAXE beers last night. I have looked FAXE up on beer review sites and it always gets horrible ratings but I really enjoy it.

I think it depends on the brand.
Some of the bock beers can be quite creamy and mellow.

909 IPA by PolyMath, it's one of my faves from the local brewery. It is literally walking/stumbling distance from my house.  ;D

I want to try Guinness some time.
A few opinions on it maybe?

You've never tried it before? 

I like it,  but it is better served slightly chilled, as opposed to cold.  Many of the bars / stores sell it refrigerated, and that is too cold...it takes away from the taste and I don't like it that way.

Guinness is not the best beer in that style, but it is quite popular, and available.  That is why I drink it.  If I had access to others of that type in Taiwan, I would rather purchase microbrewery varieties.

Thanks for the input.  :)
As you said, it's widely available, which is nice.
I think I'll try it soon and then post my thoughts (maybe).  :yoshi:

P

I also recommend to try Guinness if you haven't. I like it a lot if I'm drinking a little finer beer.

My brother's favorite beer styles are porters and stouts.  That style is always much more expensive / high end though, at least in the states.

That sounds like something I would like.  :)

I always downshift near a hybrid, so they can hear me hurt the environment...

Tiger.  Had one that was in the fridge so I used it up.
