Ever drink a Rattler? - Page 2

Didn't realize that Dinkelacker owned SchwabenBraeu. Didn't really care that much for either of them but would swill them as required. Stuttgarter Hofbraeu was tolerable...

Availability of bayerische Biere in the area kept me off of all three pretty much. And a good vom Fass Guiness was good to go most anytime.

Toelz was heaven though.

Donauschwaben.

Beautiful area.

I'll stick with Reutberg myself.. Josefi Bock being the first choice, but it's only brewed a few weeks of the year, followed by the Helles und Dunkel.

For those of you hanging in Colorado.. it's imported to Colorado Springs. We're still working on NC and their frigging ABC laws.

For some of those alte zehnte gruppen kameraden, there's some at the safe house in NC...

I would second that Stras. Loved attending the bock fest every year.

Our weekly ruck march consisted in a ruck march to the top of the Brauneck where we then enjoyed one or two or..... Raddler Massen. That made the climb more worthwhile.

After a foray or two into Europe, I've grown to like Krusovice Imperial Chornay... Granted it's Czech, but it's smooth and delicious.

Hey bro, don't you know, there are lots of beers wherever you go.

I like the Reutberg beers too, but in Europe there are just too many to stick with just one.

I found Reutberg in a liquor mart in Las Vegas and another in Lexington KY.

It is getting interstate as well as international.

Is some bigger brewery acting as a fund site for these guys?

There you go - another convert! Funny, I doubt I would enjoy one today unless it met the essential criteria that I was used to:

1. Tired and thursty.
2. In a Bavarian Mountian Gasthaus
3. Served to me by a huebsche dame
4. A couple of friends to drink it with - while we tease the lady about how strong she must be to carry those things around (let you decide which things we're talking about).

Ah the good life that was. A Miller Lite at Chilis just doesn't cut it.

Al, We're currently using the UW approach to expand the market in the states. Currently Reutberg is avail in parts of CA, NV, AZ, CO, and FL that I know of. Hadn't heard about the KY link, though I did drop a case at a QP's house in Hopkinsville when I PCS'd to NC. I've been dealing with the distributor in CA, which after a lot of hard work and sweat by some of our 10th SFG brothers, resulted in it being marketed in CO. At some point I hope to have it here in NC..

You should stop by next time and not send Herr "M" to do your dirty work. There's a couple of cold ones in the fridge, and Williams Schnapps in the freezer.

Ever hear of Gelba Stuka?

Tastes almost as bad as Razeputz - a real gag reflex initiator.

We were told that it means "Bird of Prey Piss."

But if you were ever allowed to drink it - you earned it. And you were glad to do so.

Anybody know where it comes form?

I lived in East Germany for a few years and became very fond of the wheat beers. They're more popular there than in the West. I also had a chance to try a Radler and a Diesel. The Berliners weren't bad either.

I remember my first radler at a guest house while on my first ski march...great, just great after racing against the other group coming in our direction! Quenched my thirst....much better then today's Gatorade...........................

Stras · 04-01-2009, 15:35

The best location to drink a Radler is the at one of the hutte's on the backside of the Brauneck during lunch on a hard day's ski. Whilst sitting outside on the veranda and watching the scenery go by in their ski bunny attire.

Had one in Garmisch last night, but just wasn't the same.

Only here for a week, but putting away as much German beer as physically possible. Sat, we're meeting up with the guys in SFA LXV (65) in Bad Toelz for some cold Reutberg...

Why would anyone spoil the taste of a good beer with some other substance. Sounds like alcohol abuse to me...

Stras, when you getting back in town. Down with the MSOS graduation exercise and looking to burn some comp time.
