Löwenbräu Original

After the tents closed we powered back to the campsite, but joined the back packing masses around the Löwenbräu vending machines for a beer to dull the cold and help us get to sleep - not that we were not tanked up to the hilt anyway! Löwenbräu Original (5.2% abv) is a helles style lager that tasted pretty ordinary in light of the malty 'fest beers we had been drinking all evening. But I know from past experince that it is an excellent beer. I have always considered Löwenbräu as the lesser of Munich's breweries, mainly as they have beer halls in many capital cities and teh beer is distributed/brewed under licence around the world by SABmiller. But compared to your average megaswill, its a winner. http://www.lowenbraubeer.com/

Löwenbräu Urtyp

My final beer from my trip to Berlin, Löwenbräu Urtyp (abv 5.2%) is traditional Munich style 'Helles' beer brewed to traditional methods. As you may guess from the picture this was a sneaky pint I had at the airport. I won't go into too much detail as I basically necked it as I had to board my flight! I am planning to get out to Munich later in the year and will no doubt consume large quantities of this particular beer there, so stay tuned! Website:http://www.lowenbraubeer.com/
