Favorite three that are always available at most bottle shops: (1) Weihenstephaner Hefe (the Dunkel is great too); (2) Ayinger Brau Weisse; (3) Schneider Tap 7.

Do they come in cans though, bro?

 

[shuggy1]

time for someone to setup the blind tasting of hazy IPA's. not a "we're having a hazy IPA tasting" but a "we're having a tasting" where some are hazy and some are not.

see how people actually judge them without knowing what they're drinking

too much "i can tell these suck based on how they look" and not enough "these suck because they taste bad".

Did these last year. It was blind in that I was the only one of the five of us who knew what any of the beers were. Unfortunately, the only way to eliminate the haze/clear bias is to actually blindfold everybody or serve them in sippy cups.

My personal ranking is probably: Weihenstephaner, Ayinger, Tilmans, Andechs, Franziskaner.

[MooseLang]

Yeah . . . I'll just stop down the Hofbrauhaus or grab some Hacker-Pschorr or Paulaner at the store. That doesn't even get into Weihenstephan, Schneider, Ayinger, Erdinger, or Franziskaner.

Probably my favorite:

Live Oak is nice because you can get great German-style beers that traveled less distance and are fresher.

But yeah, nobody can touch the Germans. Schneider is actually my favorite German Brewery. Ignited my love of beer when I went there in College. Aventinus, HopfenWeisse, Edel-Weisse, and their experimental beers....all fantastic.

I'm of the opinion that if you don't like traditional German beer, there is something terribly, terribly wrong with you.

I would like to hear your opinion on session beer, next.

 

[Hookemhops13]

You know what I'd prefer over Live Oak Hefe? Just about every German example of the style I've tried. I feel like this has become a very unpopular opinion.

 

[jbeezification1]

I wanna hear everyones opinion on everything.

Not really. I'll be drinking Live Oak cans forever. You don't have to want them, more for me.

I do!

This is not an opinion, it's a fact.

I'd like to try some Live Oak, as I do love German style beers. On the other hand, I wouldn't really go out of my way to get them, as... Ayinger, Weihenstephaner, etc.

Jack's Abby ain't too bad at some German styles, either. Ain't too bad at all.

It was the Live Oak Lichtenhainer, don't think it has a release date planned. Something different and I thought well done. Hope you enjoyed it.

I'd be kinda surprised if any of their smoked beers made it into cans.

Trade partners better get ready.

This would be fantastic though. Would bang a good rauchbier in cans.

Had a few of their smoked offerings a few weeks ago at Live Oak. I didn't find them all that smokey. Nicely delicate for the most part. Crushable.

But damn, a canned Weizenbock, color me tickled. Put me down for a few cases, fellas.

This last round I might've pounded an entire 64oz growler in a sitting 3 different times.... it's like 9% ABV....

Worth it.

Or cans.

or a black wine glass like they do on the Steal This Beer podcast

Lichtenhainers, when done right, are magical.
Will be very much iso that and their berliner when available.
