Alright, alright, the word is out. The guy likes drinking his beer in period-correct barware. In this case, it’s my late 1800’s Hacker-Bräu Maßkrug!

What better brew than Hacker’s current Münchner Gold, brewed in the World’s Beer Mecca, Munich, Bavaria. I thought I'd pour off an ounce to show you the color.... Wow, great lager!

Münchner Gold is a malty rendition of Southern German beer – one step heavier than a Helles, but I’d say not fully to a Märzen – sort of on the order of Paulaner’s current Festbier. Along those lines. 5.5% ABV, terrific, filling and thirst quenching all at the same time - I think this stuff is dinner tonight!

I’ve been called a dinosaur before, if they see me with my mug, it’s confirmed! Prost!

How the heck do you get a 6-pack of 500ml/16.9 ounce cans into California, European “Dutch Style” Pilsener (whatever that is,) shipped in from Germany, and sell it retail for $6.99 US Greenbacks? I’m befuddled.

Luckily, I’m also well-hydrated at that price! Seek this one out – what a beer drinker’s value, I am impressed. I wish I could brew it this cheap!

Actually, that reminds me of a funny story my Dad used to tell about guys hunting because it was “cheaper” than buying meat retail. Ya Right! Really just a way to justify the hunt - I got the list – wow, lots of stuff there, equipment, time away, fuel. I think Venison ended up costing like around $30 a pound by the time all costs are in. Yeah, value, right!

Well, I think those brewing to save bucks may have it right the first Beer Ball they buy, but after all that stainless steel, time and equipment, our crafted beer frequently costs more. Well, Ok, I know some of you might disagree, but hey, I don’t think I could touch $6.99 for a sixer of these tasty Pilensers - quite a bargain! Prost.
