Schwarzes Kreuz Keller in Eggolsheim

Posted by Nick B. on 2016-06-11 08:06:26

So I ventured up to the Keller yesterday, on a lovely, warm, sunny afternoon. 16:15, and I was the first one there. They've now got Krug (Breitenlesau) and Greif on tap. Both from keg, sadly, not from barrels as the Schwarzes Kreuz used to be. It's a new guy, since the last time I was there a couple of years ago, or I suppose whenever Schwarzes Kreuz stopped brewing. He told me that all beer is served that way these days, the old wooden barrels are no longer allowed. Yeah, right. He also said I should probably have Krug instead of Greif, since it's süffiger/smoother. Yeah, right. (Well, it is actually, süffiger than the Greif, but why would I want that?) Anyway, this was the best I can recall having had Greif from keg: it was not at all gassy, and it was fresh like at the brewery tap room, where it is from a barrel. 2€ / Seidla. There are signs up, saying seating cushions can be had for a 1€ deposit. (!?!) Is that a thing now -- *renting* seating cushions at the Bierkeller? https://twitter.com/ErlangerNick/status/741273146087604224
