Zoigl is more of a beer culture than a style. While largely confined to a few select areas in northern Bavaria, there is one very interesting example in the Allgäu region. Kaubeuren Zoigl Ludwigstrasse 47 has all the right ingredients and is well worth exploring if in the area.
Bayer Dampfbier is an interesting mix of Weizen and Kellerbier with a fruity palate and semi-dry finish.
Hofbräu Oberle Dinkelbier is their fruity summer offering from the small house brewery. It's made with spelt, an old form of wheat popular by its German name Dinkel here in Germany. It's similar to but generally a bit sweeter than a Weizen.
Hofbräu Oberle Sommerspritzer is their fruity summer Helles with a hoppy/citrusy palate and a lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter finish.
Schlenkerla is the most renowned of Rauchbier/Smoke beer breweries. They have a great line-up of seasonal beers and in this comparison, we look at their flagship Märzen and summer seasonal Kräusen.
Sauer Storchenbier is a Dunkles Kellerbier with a semi-dry fruity/malty palate and a semi-bitter finish.
Sauer Kellerbier is a semi-dry fruity brew with a malty palate and semi-bitter finish.
The Klosterbrauerei Glocken Hell is a classic example of the style with a balanced malty palate and clean finish.
The Klosterbrauerei Weissenoher Pils is a fine, semi-dry German Pils with a clean finish.
The Klosterbrauerei Classic Export is darker than most in the style but the malty chewiness is well-balanced by fair hopping. Another winner from Weissenohe.
