Why is this style so often overlooked? Good examples of it are SO TASTY.
One of the micros in my hometown (Grimm Brothers in Loveland, CO) brewed one called 7 Ravens, and it is excellent. Last night I picked up a bottle of Kulmbacher Mönchshof Schwarzbier to see how 7 Ravens stood up to a real German example, and I ended up finding my new favorite commercial beer.
As soon as I have the ability to lager, I'll be brewing a schwarzbier. In the meantime, I'm also considering coming up with an ale version.
What are some thoughts on the style?
