Fritz Ale IPA Special 2 was pretty decent, loads of Citra in that I reckon...
But although I applaud some brewers attempting to shake up the German beer market from it’s (self enforced) sleep, do we really need to clone IPA’s in the US mould the way the Danes have done? Surely something more... well, German... would be a good first step?

Is it better to shock consumers into realizing what is possible? Or to pull them along slowly, by degrees? Perhaps there’s room for both approaches.

To the first question: Nein. To the second: such as?
I’d personally like to see my local Franconian brewers offer hoppy half-stout and trans-global half-IPA. |

Couldn’t agree more. Lichtenhainer, Grätzer, Broyhan and Keute: why doesn’t anyone give these styles a go? Way more interesting than boring IPAs. |

Frankly, I’m surprised that Briem didn’t give them a go yet. |

Given what a terrible job he made of Berliner Weisse, I’m glad he hasn’t.

Heh, even though I didn’t dislike it as a beer, I know what you mean...
Still, it might be good - he’d bring them to a more global attention, people seem to love his beers, and as long as it would lead to people seeking out and trying to recreate what’s left of their recipes instead of cloning his (if it would’t be what it’s supposed to be), then the mission would be successful.

I would love to see the old styles. Wish someone would try it!
