Real Ale Guide's Unboxing of German Craft Beer from JoeHell67

[TheStephanos]

Rauchbier is ace if you like smokiness

[realaleguide]

@TheStephanos going to be trying it for the first time, looking forward to it :)

[JoeHell67]

Hey,

i'm glad nothing broke... :-)

the letter should mention all beers, maybe read again with a little more time on hand...

"Schwarzer Ritter", "Weisser Franke" (with St. George on the labels..) and the Erdinger are Wheatbeers with yeast (read serving suggestions..) you can use that Weizen glass for 'em

for all others you can use any pint or lager glass or maybe a glass mug...

or why not the big old wine glass?

cheers!

Joe from.... you know the deal..

[realaleguide]

@JoeHell67 Awesome Joe, cant wait to review these beers, will get the brewery tour vids up then make a start on what look delicious beers, cheers my friend.

Haha - I just picked up the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier today, only about two hours ago.... hilarious to see you get one in your beer mail. Guy in the Bev place said it was the smokest beer he's ever had.

[realaleguide]

@Tianjoja Really looking forward to the Rauchbier not tried one before, isnt it weird how we both get this beer within 2 hours of each other, cheers

[bluelebowski]

Happy haircut...you look like you are ready to enlist!

[realaleguide]

@bluelebowski I had it cut as im off to visit, Mallinsons today and Magic Rock Brewing, im going to the famous Grove Inn tonight in Huddersfield, very excited by that, cheers

[bluelebowski]

@realaleguide It's official, I hate you!

[realaleguide]

@bluelebowski Just come back, vids to follow mate :)

[bluelebowski]

@realaleguide Did you find out why they are out of stock on mybrewerytap?

[realaleguide]

@bluelebowski The answers in the videos Richard explains everything, will start posting them on Monday :)

[bluelebowski]

@realaleguide Great, can't wait - I want to find out if I can get some in time for my birthday!!

[biltongben]

dunkel and Schwarzbier beers are fantastic.. i have had a few of them in my time..lovely dark roasted flavours..look forward to your reviews on èm!

[realaleguide]

@biltongben thanks Ben, I am very very excited by these beers. Off to Magic Rock tomorrow to record a brewery tour, when I get back I am on these beers, cheers

[theyhavecheese]

sorry but this is really bugging me. why is every beer that isn't a normal lager refered to as a craft beer? these arent craft beers. there are some excellent beers there though. i look forward to your thoughts on rauchbier in particular ;)

[realaleguide]

@theyhavecheese I just think its nice to refer to them as Craft German Beers, as there are so much care and attention gone into making them, glad you are looking forward to the reviews, looking forward to your comments, cheers

[mrgrimviking]

This will be good for you to do mate. Always explore the other countries as they have some real beauties out there. I have recently done a beer haul from around the world including places like Namibia, Finland and Sri Lanka. I have to try everything! Haha.

[realaleguide]

@mrgrimviking That is so cool that you are willing to try beer from all over the world, I am on the same wavelength as you, I find it really intriguing. Cheers Dave

[mrgrimviking]

Awesome beer mail there mate. I look forward to seeing what you think of the Aecht Gehlenterla rauchbier Marzen. It really is an aquired taste and I hated it whereby others loved it! It's a smoked lager so be prepared!

[realaleguide]

@mrgrimviking Ah thanks Dave, cheers for that, have you reviewed it then?? Cheers

[mrgrimviking]

@realaleguide Yes mate. I ended up tipping it down the sink although I gave a fair review. Really wasn't my thing. You might love it though mate! When you do the review I'll attach my vid if that's alright. Have fun up North.
