Americans like German Beer...

My experience with Americans and German beer is a bit...let's say...special. Americans tend to prefer Belgian Beers and I think this is mainly because of their intense, floral flavor.
German beer however is different and tends to be a bit of a challenge for the American palate. However I can assure you that once you start drinking more German beer you'll learn to appreciate it. My American wife is the living proof for this!

Today, I'd like to start with one of my favorites! The name of the brewery is HELD Bräu and it is situated in a beautiful little village called Oberailsfeld near Nuremberg. My favorite is the so-called HELLES (engl. Lager) which may be the BEST lager I have ever tasted...and I'm German!!! The Held is smooth, almost sweet and has a long very refreshing aftertaste. Right now weather is very hot here and I think the time is right for "ein Helles". Prost!

Let's get Started!!

I was sitting here thinking about how great Bavarian Beer is and how little people know about the microbrews here. Beer fans in Bavaria love to discover unknown and hidden breweries and you'll be surprised how many of those there are. In this blog I intend to present the ones I like and also the ones I will discover in the course of the next months.
Let the journey begin! PROST!!
