It’s that time of the year as winter really begins to set in that you want to reach for a nice smooth dark beer. However, if you’re not in Home Sweet Oregon and can’t have a nice Black Butte Porter and Oatmeal Stout and in Germany you may just have to settle for some Bockbier.
I happened to be in Freiburg for the annual tapping of Feierling’s Microbrewery first Bockbier. It’s not the same as the Oktoberfest tapping, but still a damn good time. The atmosphere was charged with drunken German awesomeness, thanks mostly to the band “Wisser Bube” straight out of the Schwarzwald. I would have a picture of the band here, but Roman is being a bit of a douche and STILL hasn’t sent me a picture of the band or a copy of the bad ass poster that the band had.
In case you’re wondering who Roman is, he runs the taps at the brewery, ensuring that we all have delicious beer in our glasses.
Feierling is a nice little brewery in Freiburg with pretty acceptable beer – a bit sweet, but goes down like, well, you know. If you’ve ever seen the little Feierling caricature you’ll notice that he could very well be the boyfriend of Ms. Rothaus another delicious Baden-Württemburg beer. A relationship based solely on beer can’t be all that bad can it?
