Either way, it sounds like a great place to have added to Portland; I certainly would've spent a lot of time (and liver cells) there.Erlangernickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564871714656285737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-68705793816610387062014-05-31T11:30:46.055-07:002014-05-31T11:30:46.055-07:00Nick--I think you're right (although I haven&#...Nick--I think you're right (although I haven't verified it and I am incredibly leery about what my memory tells me). But we live with the beers that are made now. It could be that Kostritzer was once fantasticker, but it is at this moment at Stammtisch still pretty fantastic.Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-78718977270860648712014-05-31T00:11:06.657-07:002014-05-31T00:11:06.657-07:00*scratches head quizzically*

Or maybe there's a special export version.Erlangernickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564871714656285737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-25452702186971546752014-05-30T14:03:45.752-07:002014-05-30T14:03:45.752-07:00Absolutely one of my favorites.

I can't begin to describe how many times I've gone my local bottle shop and agonized over making a selection between Köstritzer, Aecht Schlenkerla Helles, Einbecker Schwarzbier and Weihenstephaner Original.Whosisbrewhttp://www.whosisbrew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-12910605284170021802014-05-30T10:18:33.731-07:002014-05-30T10:18:33.731-07:00Great history lesson.
