Message neur0 beers 1573 º places 45 º 06:12 Tue 9/26/2017 Haven't seen this kind of event for about 5 years and thought, that it's time to try to revive this. Despite I'm not British, nor live in the UK, I'm posting this event here for reasons of nostalgia. Aventinus Mass Online Tasting - Reloaded Hope to see some of you joining me in this event.

Message bartlebier beers 4526 º places 177 º 06:34 Tue 9/26/2017 Any particular motivation for Aventinus, besides it being a worldwide available classic?

My motivation was, that's f***ing cold outside and I like dark strong beers in the cold months. Also looking at my old rating, I should rerate it ;)
Message BeerViking beers 9209 º places 134 º 17:29 Tue 9/26/2017 Lemme check if I have a bottle, I know I have the Aventinus Eisbock... Nah, I've got Taps 4 and 5, but not the 6. Drat. And I have philosophical objections to paying £4.50 for something that normally costs more like €1.19.

I can buy crates at 20 Euros around the corner and the Munich crowd is probably spending this Online Tasting at the Schneider brewpub where we also pay 4.90 Euros :P
Message neur0 beers 1573 º places 45 º 15:37 Wed 9/27/2017 In Hannover I have to pay 2€/Bottle or about 4,50€ for a 0,2l glass in a Craft Beer Bar

Message minutemat P beers 14700 º places 551 º 16:31 Wed 9/27/2017 The higher cost in the UK probably has something to do with the higher UK duty thing which results in paying more for beer over here. Also the people that import it, and the people that sell it usually want to cover their costs also
Message FatPhil P beers 26090 º places 995 º 17:14 Wed 9/27/2017 I may have to just draw a bottle of it, as I don't want to miss out.
