With all the IPA being glugged daily, getting back to our Teutonic brewing roots sometimes makes for some great beer experiences. Today I’m sipping a fantastic beer that’s travelled farther than I did this week - Weihenstephaner’s terrific Helles lager - straight from the World's beer Mecca - Bavaria!

With all the IPA hop bombs out there, this super malty but low hopped beer just really stands out. As beer drinkers, we like hops for sure – but we also like MALT! Sometimes I like it hoppy and sometimes I like it Malty. Like trying to please two women at the same time!

Just kidding on that last statement, last think I wanted to do was to offend all you ale and sour fans out there - Just calling balls and strikes!

This is a great brew. I think Weihenstephaner truly is the World’s Finest Brewery. I never have a beer from Weihenstephaner that disappoints, they are it. They are also the oldest – 1040 AD!!! The Word’s Finest, er, Oldest Brewery is the best! (Until I taste another IPA that is!)

4.8% ABV, delicious and malty, this Helles would be hard to beat. Prost!

"4.8% ABV, delicious and malty, this Helles would be hard to beat. Prost!" compare this newcomer Helles to the original version and give us your opinion.
 
CEOs and executives decimated the American semiconductor industry in the last 25yrs for a bigger profit. Now they're screaming to beat China, whom we sent to stuff to to produce in the first place. Good luck a$$wipes.

Patriotism only goes as far as one's pocket book.. apparently.

Anyway.. could be a rough start to the work week

An old favorite of mine. I bought a beers at the grocery store today. This is fairly expensive for the Belgians, just under $2 per bottle. The French Farmers IPA us substantially more at around $2.50 per bottle. All the imported and craft beers here are sold as singles, only the major brands sell in six, 12, or 24 packs.
