Franconian Beer Message Board

OT: Yorkshire and the North of England
Posted by Nichola on 2011-11-16 06:28:46
Well, I guess its because they like to try something different and germany has a reputation for good beer. Plus the fact that its such an enjoyable experience sitting in a beer garden in the sun - not many opportunities for that in the UK - so maybe people are trying to recapture something. The increase in microbreweries is definately creating a shift in the way people view and consume beer. I personally wish the Reinheits Gebot was less stringent allowing brewers here to really spread their wings (like that's going to happen). It would be really good if the franconians were as open minded about trying new beers as the english - then we could do import/export. We brought a couple of barrels from Arkwrights Brewery in Preston earlier on in the summer - we drank one at the Debringer Freiwillger Feurwehrmänner gathering - but they weren't convinced. The remaining barrel exploded in the cellar (a bit like your head) so we couldn't drink it. Did you say something was happening at Der Pelikan at the end of November?
