Landbier

Posted by Gerhard Schoolmann on 2003-04-17 12:16:58

"Landbier" conveys two different meanings: - beer from the county, p.e. Bamberg Land, Nuremberg Land, in contrast to beer from the town(s). In Nuremberg exists a "Landbierparadies" (paradise of country beers, a pub, in which You only get beeers from the country around Nuremberg) - a misleading advertising, a marketing trick from great breweries, p.a. "Moenchshof Landbier" (http://www.kulmbacher.de/deutsch/moench/biersort/3_1_5.htm) because "Landbier" has a good image but no legal definition. "Landbier" ist not a style of beer.
