Kerwa Kalender & Kronicles: Beer Hiking on the 7 Brewery Trail

The consecration of the local church known as Kirchweih in high German is one one of the more festive days of the year in any given German town, especially small villages. They are largely like mini-Folk Festivals, sometimes featuring rides/games for the kids and local delicacies. Of course, it being Germany, there's always beer on hand.

Wiesener Räuberweisse

Wiesener Räuberweisse from Bürgerliches Brauhaus is a great looking Weizen with a rocky head and fruity nose. It’s got a rounded fruity palate with yeast in peeking in from the nose. It’s also got an earthy quality untypical for the style which gives it a moreish quality. It’s a touch stickier than their other beers but not overly so and certainly not for the style. It’s full-flavored and fruity but remains refreshing, something a Weizen should always strive to be.

Waldschloss Bräu Kellerbier

Waldschloss Kellerbier is a gorgeously refreshing looking Kellerbier with a light grainy nose and balanced palate of grain and hops. The lingering finish is semi-dry with just a hint of bitterness. Much better with food, the peppery element of the hops is more pronounced.

Waldschloss Fuhrmanns Weisse has the classic banana clove interplay in both the nose and palate but it's thin of flavor with a cloying finish.
