Drinking a Schlammersdorfer Landbier as I type...

The way that beer is served in Germany is a bit of a mystery to me. I assume that, generally, it is filtered and is pumped out using CO2 (I've seen the gas bottles in some bars). This is, of course, except for the rare unfiltered beer like Mahr's 'U' - possibly the best beer in the world. I used to keep a pub in England, serving only real ale - no CO2, cask breathers, swan neck fillers or any of the things that ruin good beer. Beer was delivered in kilderkins (18 UK gallons) and would last about 4 days from tapping the barrel (it would last at least a week before being tapped - don't know how long exactly because it was always drunk before that time!). I sold Courage Best Bitter, Wadworth's 6X, John Smith's Bitter, and several guest beers and would sell around 5 kils a week. In addition, we also sold cider, two or three 'lagers', Guinness, etc. Hope this is of some interest.
