Franconian Beer Message Board

Lager Categories

Better than Ratebeer's categories, I say. And I should not have stipulated "Dark Bock", rather, "Bock" like they have. I shall correct my post at r8beer to reflect this, thanks for the tip.

My point about Festbier vs. Oktoberfest stands here as well: there are 6 or 7 German Oktoberfest(s), all basically the same watery crap, how many dozens of Festbier(s) of various colours, strengths, and malt / hop profiles?

Still don't understand the American love for "Vienna Lager" though. Especially as a "German" beer. If it's a bit stronger and maltier than a normal Hell, then they will call it Export, Märzen, or Spezialbier (Aichinger!)

And the "Munich" is superfluous and should be stricken from the Dunkel & Hell Lager categories. If anything, call them "Franconian Helles / Dunkles Lager", as the dozens or hundreds of Franconian examples are so much better and worth holding as the standard to measure up to than the handful of bland Münchner Touristenbier(s).

And if they *must* use German terms, let's get the grammar straight: Heller Bock, Dunkles Lager, Helles Lager. "Dunkel" is a noun, dunkles is the correct adjective form here. They should rename the non-existant Vienna Lager to "Wiener Lager" if they have to keep it for whatever reason.

Make it so!
