Beer School, Session 5

Budweiser tops this week's taste test. No, not that Bud. We tried to original Czech lager. This beer was actually recommended to us by an Austrian friend who claims that it's his favorite beer. It may not be our absolute top beer so far, but it was quite good.

Other beers that we tried include:

• Hacker-Pschorr, an unfiltered Double Bock from Munich. This beer was okay, but too sweet for our taste.
• Zischke Kellerbier (cellar beer) from Koblanz. Kellerbier is yet another type of beer available here. Unique because it can be top or bottom fermented, it is unclarified, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. It is sold in bottles or served directly from the barrel at beer gardens and contains more yeast then most other types of beer. Dispite all that, we found this beer to be watery.
