Impression: Schlüsselfeld isn’t the easiest place to get to, well not if you want to leave the same day anyway. So, took advantage of a rental car and super understanding wife and finally made it to Stern-Bräu. I only had one Vollbier even though it was what most locals were drinking. We took a liking to the Festbier and never went back. That said, the Vollbier was a great dry hoppy brew with a clean bitter finish. It would be an easy beer to drink for a session and would have liked to have another as our later beers seemed to be poured with less carbonation.
