Impression: This was a last minute stop but glad I came. In addition to the house beer (which is brewed by Tucher), there’s two changing taps. Today it’s Stockel Spezial Dunkel and Bimberla Ungespundet. This golden beer was benefited by a slow careful pour and excellent presentation: gorgeous head, hue and clean logo glass. It’s certainly not a Munich Helles but not a high echelon Vollbier hell either. That said, it’s a fruity semi-dry golden brew with a lingering semi-bitter finish and if you are going to pretend to be a brewery, this place at least does a good job of it.
