- 50 beers to drink before you die
- A while back the BBC posted a feature titled "50 things to eat before you die" and I thought at the time that this would make a good topic for beer. So in the spirit of adventure and living life to the fullest, etc. etc., I'm coming up with the 50 beers to drink before you die, in ten weekly installments listing five beers each (in no particular order, other than whatever theme I fit them into).

Top 10 Beers - Get to Know German Beer
Think German beer and chances are the first thing that will pop into mind will be pale-straw colored German Pils. The casual beer drinker can be forgiven for thinking that German brewers exclusively produce the same stuff. But the German beer scene is vastly more complex than that. There is a huge range of lagers and ales brewed there. Here are ten examples that can give you a taste of the many beers of Germany.
German beers
- 1. Pilsner
- Let's get Pilsner out of the way first, shall we? There are many great German Pilsners available. They are crisp, refreshing, and have a delightful hoppy bite.
- 2. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier
- Many brewers produce wheat beers but nobody can do it better than the Bavarians. The unique flavor and aroma of this cloudy style comes from the special yeast used to ferment the blend of malted barley and wheat. Weihenstephaner has been making this marvelous stuff almost longer than anyone else.
- 3. Spaten Oktoberfest
- A Spaten brewer invented this sweet, brown style. Oktoberfest, or Maerzen, is traditionally brewed in March and served in autumn. Spaten's Oktoberfest is only available from August until October or November. Paulaner also makes a fine Oktoberfest which is available year-round.
- 4. Einbecker Ur-Bock
- For the first of the bocks on my list I chose the first of the bocks. This dark, malty style was developed and took its name from the German town Einbeck. The Einbecker brewery continues to brew bock and its Ur-Bock is widely recognized as one of the best examples of the style.
- 5. Paulaner Salvator Doppel Bock
- Doppel bocks are darker and richer than bocks. Paulaner's Salvator is a fine example of this style. All bocks are lagers so, despite the big flavors, they are still crisp and clean with some sweetness.
- 6. Ayinger Bräu-Hell - Helles or Maibock
- Helles or maibock is a pale colored bock. Despite its color it is still quite malty in flavor but it's generally hoppier than other bocks. It was originally developed as the Bavarian answer to Pilsner.
- 7. Goose Island Summertime - Kölsch
- Purists are groaning as they see my choice for the Kölsch entry is actually brewed in Chicago. But the best Kölsch style beers are brewed in Cologne and rarely make it past the German border. (The word Kölsch comes from the German name for Cologne - Köln) The few that make it out can be hard to find. Luckily, Summertime is a fine example of the style. Kölsch is an unusual beer because it is brewed with ale yeast but it is aged like a lager. It is pale and refreshing with moderate hopping.
- 8. Alaskan Brewing Co. Amber - Alt
- Good German brewed alt is also hard to find outside of Germany so I offer this fine example from Alaskan Brewing Co. Alt is subtler than you would expect from it's brown or amber color. It is slightly malty with hardly any hops aroma. It is usually rather bitter but not aggressively so.
- 9. Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier
- Rauchbier or smoke beer is a very unusual style. The beer itself is a lot like Oktoberfest, sweet and malty. But the smoke flavoring adds a completely unexpected element to the profile. Some drinkers describe the flavor to be like beef jerky or even leather. It is worth tracking down a bottle if you've never tried it before.
- 10. Berliner Kindl Weisse
- Berliner weisse is another very unusual style of beer. The flavor and character comes from deliberately soured grains. It is tart and tangy and very refreshing. Many fans of this style like to add fruit or herb flavored syrups but I like it just the way it is.

- The best tasting beer I ever had was Old Gambrinus - a Danish beer. Now I dring Steel Reserve. Tastes OK if it's really cold, will make you gag if it's warm though.
