Griess Keller - Dispense
Posted by Nick B. on 2014-08-04 04:54:54
The timings of opening times and bus connexions are lame, and the scenery is fabulous. The rest of your points......of course they didn't charge me for either pizza or beer on Saturday, so maybe my opinion's to be suspect...

One big bit of news I learnt there Thursday. One of the things I've always loved about Griess is the bayerischer Anstich Bauchfass, gravity "tub" barrel dispense. Even though, yes, this can lead to them foisting a day-old barrel on unsuspecting punters now and again. Keller-mates there advised me that this is now no longer the case, since Peter (Griess) put in a line from the Keller to a big tank in a cooler trailer down behind the toilets.

I was stunned. So I went and looked around, and sure enough, there's the trailer, and you can see where they buried a line from it to the Keller. But in the Keller there was a barrel that looked really authentic. As the guy saw me peeking around, I told him I'd been told about the new high-tech system. He said they don't use it every day, just when they "need to". And my mates say they can't tell a difference in quality. I got to the Keller so rarely last year that I never encountered this, I guess.

I assume it's a 5 or 10 hl plastic bag in a tank, like what Roppelt and Rittmayer (Aisch, not Hallerndorf) use. I forgot to note how they were pouring on Saturday. So there's that.

(Erstwhile poster Peter Alexander refers to such barrels as "tubs", such as he has them at the foreign beer bar at the GBBF.)
