time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[Aschecte]

Any hints.... Don't mean to be a beggar but this one seems a bit difficult on its own.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Gratzer?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Sahti?

 

[russki]

It is a difficult one. More hints: it is German; a love child of two other historical styles, one of which has been named. It has only recently been resurrected by a few breweries.

 

[Aschecte]

My mind goes back to Gose but you already said no ...... This is a hard one.

 

[ckcanady]

Gueuze

 

[ckcanady]

... Or maybe I should be more obscure... Lambic

 

[russki]

... Or maybe I should be more obscure... Lambic

One guess per hint please. But still no.

 

[russki]

Another hint: Bamberg.

 

[ckcanady]

Rauchbier of course!

 

[Chamuco]

Marzen

 

[russki]

Rauchbier of course!

And... Still no.

 

[thatjonguy]

Kloster bier?

 

[ckcanady]

And... Still no.

Damn thought I had it... Twice.
Keller bier

 

[russki]

Good guesses, but still no... Actually getting colder. Another hint: there's more than just yeast involved there. Put all the hints together, and you will have it. Extra points if you can name the actual style.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Stab in the dark from Google, Broyhan?

 

[thatjonguy]

Urbock?

 

[ckcanady]

Leipziger Gose

 

[russki]

Nope. Last hint: Bamberg Capital City Brew. (no, this is not a brewery... Just a hint... Very obvious hint...) Someone's gotta get this one!

 

[Chamuco]

Grut bier

 

[ckcanady]

Helles Schlenkerle Lager

 

[Qhrumphf]

I'm starting to think you're pulling a fast one on us. I give up. Heh.

 

[andycr]

Berliner Weisse

EDIT: D'oh, someone already guessed that.

 

[russki]

Berliner Weiss is close (Capital City). Add Bamberg.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Lichtenhainer?

 

[russki]

Lichtenhainer?

Ding-ding-ding! Jackpot! Described as a "smoked berliner weisse", it's a nearly forgotten style. A very tasty one. The one in the photo is Freigeist Abraxxxas.

Gah. I've heard about but not tried many of the obscure historical styles from that region. Never even heard of that one.

I'm running out of pictures. Hah.

 

[ckcanady]

Love Rauchbier but never heard of that either.

Bier de guarde

 

[thood6]

Brown ale

 

[TNGabe]

Very obvious hint...

Obvious???
