I have used Imperial a couple of times in the can and didn't have it take off. I used the Darkness yesterday in a beer, this was the new Imperial in the bag, I pitched at 4pm and stuck the fermentor into the chamber and it was going strong this morning. I really like it and will continue to use...

Trav77 the beers of Europe are incredible, the variety is great, and I had a great Alt last year when I took the train through Dusseldorf. People up here (PNW) to clammer for huge hop IPA's, which is fine. I like the brew pubs with a little more variety, Fallingsky is a great local place, also...

Avondale in Birmingham, AL has been the worst craft brewery I have visited, as opposed the Good People in the same town that is top notch. New Belgium I think has always had an "off" flavor. I spend several years living in Europe and grew to really like German and English beers. I am now back in...

I bought a 20gallon kettle from them in September. They were very quick to respond to my questions and get the order shipped. It arrived packaged very well and I am 100% satisfied with their product and would like to upgrade my MLT and HLT with 20's as well. Hope it helps, happy brewing! Jeremy

Thats like looking in my garage before I take them back in for the pfand at Toom Getraenkemarkt! I will be moving back to the states this summer and plan on bring back several cases of beer and wine. I have always loved using the German bottles when I don't keg.

I am currently am stationed in Germany so its hard to find drunk food late, we would dart out of the pub at 1230 for gyros and fries, then head back on the Kaserne for another club that was open until 4am but no food. We would take the crappy freezer pizza and heat them on a hot plate in a...

wow I was just there last week, once for afternoon beers and dinner with some buddies, great beers! too bad they got sucked into the empire

Absolutely great article! I am an American army officer living in Germany and I love beer! I started brewing after I left Germany in 1995. My first visit was in 1988 and I loved it, several tours later I now live an hour southwest of Frankfurt and visit southern Germany often. The grain is so...
