Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 05:00 Wed 2/22/2012 Well it’s that time of year again, and I’m off to give it a try at the source in a little while. Probably start with a normal Märzen first though. I suppose dozens of people here have already had this year’s version at various pubs in the US for $15 a glass or something though.
Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 06:53 Sun 2/26/2012 Better this year than last year. AFAICR, anyway, having drunk too much on Wednesday, so things are a bit clouldy. More balanced, dry, and actually quite good.
Message GodOfThunder P beers 1364 º places 65 º 04:34 Sat 6/9/2012 Does Fastenbier usually stick around all during Lent? I’ll be in Bamberg for Fastenbier next year. Hopefully it doesn’t run out until I get there. So, how much is a liter at Schlenkerla?

Hopefully it doesn’t run out until I get there. So, how much is a liter at Schlenkerla? You’d have to bring your own Masskrug, buy two glasses and pour them in your Krug yourself. IIRC a regular Märzen is 2,50€ and the Fastenbier somewhat more. Bamberg’s getting bloody expensive. I think they brew enough to keep it in stock for all of Fastenzeit. I had it on Easter Saturday one year. I wouldn’t worry about it, especially if you’re coming at least a week before Easter. It’s also a new tradition; they’ve only been brewing it for a few years now. Maybe 5 or 6.
