Weihenstephan Tradition

Berlin has its fair share of beer halls and gardens, and in my walk around town I stumbled upon the Weinhenstephan Brauhaus. Weinhenstephan is a Bavarian brewery (which is actually owned by the state of Bavaria)which produces iconic wheat beer (especially their hefeweissen), a Pils and various other beers. I was hoping to grab some dinner here, but the menu was a little limited so I settled down for a krug of their Tradition (5.2% abv), a dark, malty, bock style lager. I am not sure that bock is the correct beer style, as the beer does have some leanings towards Dusseldorfer Alt biers and is similar in colour and malt profile. Needless to say the beer was a lot more tasty/tasteful that the East German (DDR)communist architecture! You can find more our at the official website here.
