Maisel’s Weisse Original
Brewed by Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel
Style: Weissbier – Hefeweizen
Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany
Founded in 1887 by brothers, Eberhardt and Hans Maisel, Brauerei Gebrüder Maisel is a family-owned brewery located in Bayreuth, a small city on the Red Main River in Bavaria, Germany. The brewery is best known for their wheat beer, Maisel Weisse, and is the fourth largest producer of wheat beer in the country, which is some achievement when you consider how the Germans love their Weissbier’s!
The brewery is nowadays run by Jeff Maisel, the fourth generation owner of the family business.
Review: 0,5l bottle of Maisel’s Weisse Original: 5.2% vol.
A beer that has a very high score in a certain beer rating website, a top 50 beer no less.
A nice brown bottle with a lovely looking logo, nothing particularly amazing but the name of the brewery laid out in lovely blue lettering, surrounded by shreds of wheat and hops. Simple but effective. Bottle conditioned.
A cloudy look on pour, producing a hazy orange amber coloured beer, with a decent enough white head appearing. Head is frothy and sticks around. Not a bad looker.
Smell is one of a typical Hefeweizen bier. It is nice and well balanced, getting the clove, the yeast, the fruits and, of course, the wheat! Inviting.
First impressions on the taste was how soft and crisp the beer was, a real lovely velvety feel on the tongue, really smooth and so nice to drink. What a good start!
This beer is so easy to drink and instantly puts you in a very relaxed mood.
Getting all the pure wheat beer tastes, the coriander and the cloves, but ever so soft and fresh on the tongue, Very gentle and smooth in the mouth.
I like this a lot!!! The main fruits are of banana and lemon, the wheat, the hops, and the “cellar yeast”, prominent of course, are all easily detected, all well balanced and in perfect harmony.
Also you get quite a lot in the bottle, love it as I exactly wanted a couple of beers to last a few hours to relax with.
Silky on the tongue, a very solid, well balanced, and highly satisfying beer, liked this one a lot. A perfect beer to relax with. Delicious. Recommended.
Over time the brewery has changed ownership, and in 1994, saw a coming together of two old Stuttgart breweries, the Dinkelacker Brewery and Schwaben Brau resulting in The Dinkelacker-Schwaben Brau GmbH & Co. KG been formed.
On the can get a nice logo of the brewery, the Wulle Biere in distinctive red, easy to spot. 
A very smooth beer to drink and you get a lot in the can so plenty to enjoy.
Arcobräu is a brewery in the Lower Bavarian small town of Moos, in South Eastern Germany, close to the Austrian and Czech borders. The brewery has been owned by the Arco-Zinneberg family for 450 years and is one of the larger breweries in the region with annual sales regularly hitting the 20 million Euro mark. 
Cool looking blue logo, woman with a pitcher on the nice brown bottle. 
Tastes citrusy and grainy, and very light, clean and easy to drink. 
The Mahr brewery, with a history dating way back to the 17th century, is situated in Upper Franconia, in the city of Bamberg, northern Bavaria, Germany. The name of the brewery comes from a Karl Mahr who purchased the brewery in 1840. The early brewery changed hands a few times but since 1895 it is owned by the Michel family, now into its 4th generation of ownership under the stewardship of Stephan Michel.
Love the bottle and the logo, a striking light blue winged man, bit strange but stands out.
A full bodied beer on the taste, nice and crisp is the initial reaction, all smooth and easy to drink, good first impression. Sweet malts and grains to the fore.
In the late 1990’s, the Lion Nathan brewery in Australia produced a beer called “Duff Beer”. 20th Century Fox brought legal action against the company. The product was ordered to be pulled off store shelves and destroyed, even though the beer had no direct relation to the comedy series, or any similar colouring or logo design. A similar thing happened to Duff Brewery in Dunedin, New Zealand who were brewing their stuff well before even the Simpsons were on the box. To escape heavy court cases and legal drama the company changed the name eventually to McDuff in the end!
For the actual show version of the beer, Duff is made by Duff Breweries in Springfield, small town USA. Duffman, a superhero kind of guy, is their always enthusiastic spokesman all the time wearing a utility belt full of cans of Duff Beer. The beer’s slogan is “Can’t Get Enough of That Wonderful Duff”, though there are others.
Very carbonated on pour, all fizzing away no end, resulting in a very nice and white frothy headed beer that has a nice clear golden colour. Some slight lacing going on. The beer manages to maintain its head throughout. Overall its a pretty decent looking beer. A good start!.
Originally as a pilot project by the brewing plant manufacturer BrauKon GmbH, but with success came demand to where now the brewery produce a variety of popular beers, from their IPA’s to traditional Helles and Weissbier’s to their ales and stouts, all brewed with a care and passion that defines the Bavarian ideals of brew making. 
Found the bottles to be quite heavy for some reason, a bit strange!
Not much in bottle, which is always a disappointment.
The brewery was founded by Christian Weber in 1878 and takes its name after the nearby hill and castle. Karlsberg’s current owner is Richard Weber, the great-grandson of the brewery’s founder.
I love rock music and heavy metal and It’s not that I think that ACDC are a bad band or anything but truth be told I was never into them at all. If I had to pick an Aussie band then I’d go 
Nice big creamy mouthfuls at the start, a good full bodied lager taste, nice and smooth.
The state took over the monastery in 1803 during the course of secularization that was pushed through by the German state. The government abolished the monastery but were wise enough to keep the brewery which they later sold in 1829 to Anton and Therese Wagner, a family of brewers, and the brewery has continued to be privately owned since. By then the brewery had moved to the nearby Neuhauser Strasse, due to disrepair of the monastery, and this is where they have remained since. The original location is not forgotten though, it has got converted into a restaurant with a large beer hall and is very much a place to drink and be merry, especially round the time of Oktoberfest. 
The brewery are big on the whole Oktoberfest scene, with a Augustiner-Bier booth serving people from at least 1867 onwards. Since 1987, the Augustiner brewery remains the only brewery, out of the the six Munich breweries at the Oktoberfest, that exclusively taps its beer from wooden barrels only.
Initial taste was one of a nice creamy mouthful flavour on the tongue, nice and refreshing.
Founded in 1758, and based in Bocholt, a Belgian city close to the Dutch border, Martens Brewery is an eight generation family venture that is one of the leading beer and liquor producers in the country. 
Nice large bottle of beer with a screw toppy thing. Bought from Aldi. A monastery beer, more in style than substance perhaps. 
ice enough, smooth, quaffable, just a shame that there was so few real tastes or flavours to get excited about. 
Founded in 1845 by Franz Ferdinand Joseph Wicküler in Elberfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany. The company over time passed into the hands his son, Franz Joseph Wicküler, the only surviving son. Under Franz, the brewery modernized greatly and also became a joint stock company, both actions resulting in output rising dramatically. On 17 August 1916 Franz Joseph Wicküler died and unfortunately he left no descendants to look after all the great work he had done within the company, a transformation from a small brewery into one of the leading breweries in the North Rhine-Westphalia. 
Iconic logo of the three musketeers joining their swords together, certainly eye catching!
Malty and hoppy.
