The Beer Advent Calendar does a great job bringing to us a lot of beers seldom seen on these shores. Case in point – a tasty Keller Bier from Fürst Carl Schlossbrauerei, Ellinger, Germany. They’ve been brewing since 1690, amazing.
Often consumed out of doors in beer gardens, Kellerbiers are literally just that – Cellar beer - brewed maybe a bit recently. Kellerbiers are often still turbid or cloudy from fermentation and yeast. Kind of like you guys making your "4-day grain to glass lagers" with W34/70 or Hornindal – Only better!
Kellerbiers lack the long aging you might find on a Pilsner or Helles, and they can be a little raw and rough around the edges. This one isn’t – in fact it is less cloudy than some of the Helles beers I’ve pulled out of the box. Taste is great, reminds me of a Helles, carbonation below average which is typical for a Kellerbier, and not much head or lacing. At 5.1% ABV you could knock down quite a few of these and still be able to crawl home! Prost!
