Mönchsambacher Maibock

The monchsambacher brewery serves its lagerbier from gravity. If they don't have it I usually just ask, the family are so friendly. You can get a bus from bamberg direct and it goes via burgebrach (schwanen brau) and debring (muller brau). If you go on a Tuesday afternoon a group of elderley gents have a sing song with an accordian, you are given a lyrics sheet if you wish to join in, its something rather special. In terms of bayerisches antisch, only schlenkerla and mahrs serve beer by gravity, along with the spezial Keller, in bamberg. The spezial and fassla barrels are fake. I don't know why more places don't serve beer by gravity, in my experience its much easier than keg and the beer is far superior, softer and more accenuated flavour. If anyone has had augustiner helles in the nurnberger glockl in Munich it is almost a different beer than the keg version.
