stiffchainey Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Nice article. It is not all true, I don't see local breweries closing down (we have 5 just around here), but I guess it is about the whole picture. The brewery he is talking about first, the "Päffgen", is highly recommended. It is really like in the old days. http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/05/20/travel/20beer.html?pagewanted=all&_r=1& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiffchainey Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 No problem. What is called "Micro-Breweries" in the U.S.A is much likely part of the local heritage here in Germany. The local beer around here is totally different to the ones made in the North or the South. Though it is true that some very old styles are somewhat rare, the movement is rising, which is good. From my local brewery I get up to five different sorts of beer, from Kölsch to 10% belgian-style trappist beer to Weizen to Bockbeer, all in a smalltown brewery. If you ever visit Cologne, I can show you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
