European Brews Steeped in Tradition
Washington Post – Jun 18, 2008
importer Martin Wetten of Sterling will receive about 3000 barrels. Wetten also has exclusive rights to import the beers of Castle Eggenberg in the Austrian Alps near Salzburg. Brewing has taken place there since at least the 14th century; managing partner Karl Stohr says his great-great-great-grandfather acquired the business in 1804. Eggenberg makes a refreshingly dry herbal pilsner called Hopfen Koenig but the brewery is most famous for its bock beers. In ascending order of strength they are Doppelbock Dunkel (8. 5 percent alcohol by volume) Urbock 23° (9… 6 the feast day of St. Nicholas) and released after 10 months’ aging. Nine vintages of this remarkable beer dating from 1997 were served at a recent beer dinner at Brasserie Beck downtown. After a few years Samichlaus loses much of its alcoholic bite and develops a honeylike sweetness with nuances of peach and apricot. Stohr says it can be cellared for 15 years before it begins to break down. Eggenberg has revived a paler variant called Samichlaus Helles with a touch of hops peeping through enormous quantities of malt. Half of all the Samichlaus produced goes to the United States Stohr estimates.
Walker’s Reserve Robust Porter Paso Robles
San Diego Union Tribune – Jun 18, 2008
gif> ½ )WRDS MATTER: The late Bert Grant a supremely self-confident brewer once peddled his “Perfect Porter. ” The beer wasn't perfect but it was close enough; most drinkers didn't quibble about this mild bit of semantic overreach. But I was less forgiving toward Firestone Walker's porter which I did not find vigorous sturdy rough crude or any other synonym for “robust. ”FIRST IMPRESSINS: Firestone Walker is one of the nation's great mid-sized breweries and I've enjoyed its pale ale and several specialty beers. So I opened the bottle with high hopes. The dark beer was appropriately bubbly and roasty with muted espresso and burnt toast flavors… ”FIRST IMPRESSINS: Firestone Walker is one of the nation's great mid-sized breweries and I've enjoyed its pale ale and several specialty beers. So I opened the bottle with high hopes. The dark beer was appropriately bubbly and roasty with muted espresso and burnt toast flavors. But it was calm and shy not bold or hearty. ANTHER VIEW: In the interest of fairness let's note that this porter has its fans. In 2005 it won a gold medal at the Los Angeles County Fair. NE BEER'S STYLE: Although porters are brewed around the world from Japan to the Czech Republic London claims to be the style's birthplace.
A visit to holey ground
Baltic Times – Jun 18, 2008
Birzai is known as the Lithuanian home of beer. The region has made the beverage for centuries. The beer is unique because it is still naturally produced and comes in many flavors and styles. There are a few operating breweries in the region but probably the most popular one is Rinkuskiai. Their Web site gives a brief description of what happens most days. ?No festival or family parties start or end without a dark rich and strong beer with a slightly sweet taste that usually deceives guests into thinking that the beer is very light. Unfortunately they find themselves ending the party too early? it says… ?No festival or family parties start or end without a dark rich and strong beer with a slightly sweet taste that usually deceives guests into thinking that the beer is very light. Unfortunately they find themselves ending the party too early? it says. The beer produced at the brewery is of the very highest standards ? high enough that even Germans can appreciate it ? and only natural products such as water yeast hops and traditional light malt are used. After visiting the brewery you will no doubt want to savor the flavor so you will be happy to know that they sell it in retail outlets as well. Birzai is 20 kilometers off the main road between Lithuania?s and Latvia?s capitals the E67. You could be forgiven for making a small detour on a road trip from Vilnius to Riga.
