Ottakringer Pils

On Boxing day we ventured to the Austrian capital, Vienna by train. It was a most pleasant journey and we arrived in good time to get caught in a minor blizzard whilst trying to find our hotel. I think you know what is going to happen now? Well the wife and out-laws decided to warm up over a hot chocolate and I opted for a beer yet again. This time I took the only option available and ended up with a pint of Ottakringer Pils. I now beleive that this is a limited edition beer, as most of my google based research tends to lead me to Gold Fassl, which this beer is not.

Out of the Austrian beers I did have, thie is my firm favourite. The beer is more in the style of a modern Australian Bohemium pilsner along the lines of James Squire Pilsner which is a great beer. Anyhow, I sure did enjoy this beer a lot more than the tee-totaling in laws would have enjoyed their hot chocolate! http://www.ottakringer.at/
