Of course that depends what interpretation of IPA, as my views have probably been skewed by the American flavour. :)Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-33956777905605844872010-02-10T08:53:12.667+00:002010-02-10T08:53:12.667+00:00Philip - not that I am aware of, mate.Philip - not that I am aware of, mate.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512660051158275112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-80502615946392807932010-02-09T18:39:06.385+00:002010-02-09T18:39:06.385+00:00Anything like an IPA tradition there?Anything like an IPA tradition there?Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004741561340806061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-58434206569482509062010-02-09T18:27:53.446+00:002010-02-09T18:27:53.446+00:00Bailey - defo a place I would consider, yeah.

A slightly corny website, as many German brewery sites are, but it's one of my go-to beers when out in the pub. <br /><br />The brand, and hence the stuff you get in bottles and kegs is, as far as I know, made by the Oetker Group, but they still operate the brewpub which I was told still makes it on site for serving on the premises. I tried it there and it felt a little sweeter and less hoppy than the Hövels I got elsewhere. It's a bit like an altbier, but also leaning towards a bitter. Although considering I thought Schlüssel Alt tasted a bit like London Pride, there's probably more similarities than differences. :)Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-37799433028617748362010-02-08T23:18:37.319+00:002010-02-08T23:18:37.319+00:00Dortmund's a really nice place, for what it...Dortmund's a really nice place, for what it's worth, and definitely a good place to visit if you're in the region. Brinkhoff's No 1 (as I've said many times...) is a very, very boring beer. Sadly, I don't think we came across any 'export' at all on our visit.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-84473925848870916712010-02-08T16:44:32.383+00:002010-02-08T16:44:32.383+00:00Bolero - interesting, didnt know that about how Br...Bolero - interesting, didnt know that about how Brinkhoff's repositioned DAB. thanks.

Not such a romantic beer link though, as the <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Mosbach_kiwwel.jpg" rel="nofollow">Kiwwelschisser</a> represents how proud the citizens are of the fact they were one of the first town in the area to have their shit taken away in barrels in the medieval period. Thankfully things have moved on since then. :)Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-62216864907156257802010-02-07T21:48:02.220+00:002010-02-07T21:48:02.220+00:00Nice post, Leigh.Nice post, Leigh.ZakAveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794154105596597019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-47372904193717629372010-02-07T16:47:21.050+00:002010-02-07T16:47:21.050+00:00Dortmund pale ale?

DAB is an excellent replacement but doesn't quite have that winning smoothness of Union. <br /><br />Union was phased out as an export when Brinkhoff's was formed and DAB was pushed in lieu. Something from Dortmund is always permanent due to Leeds' historic links with the city.<br /><br />I'm always looking out for Dortmunder beers, if you have a little look at Michael Jackson's beer companion there's a comprehensive list of beers in the style. <br /><br />Many are still available, one of the most interesting I've tried is SAS brau which is actually a Belgian job, it's really good and at last year's Belgian beer festival flew out in a day. I'll be buying plenty more this year, I may also have a line on some bottled Dortmunder Union - I'll let you know...
