commerical schwarzbier examples
« on: January 23, 2015, 10:12:00 am »
Can anyone provide some good examples that are widely available? My Schwarz is tasting pretty damn good but I want to compare it to a solid example of the style to see if I should enter it in a competition or not.

Where are you located? Rahr and Sons out of Fort Worth makes a great one called Ugly Pug. It's in most bars around town. I'm not sure how far out of Texas they go however.

Koestritzer and Moenschof come to mind from my time in Germany.

Devils Backbone makes a very good one, don't know if you can find it, I can't.

I am near Denver. I believe I have seen Köstritzer Schwarzbier which is listed in BJCP

+2 Koestritzer and Moenschof are the hallmarks for me.

Does Xingu qualify?  Damn good black beer.

Haven't had Moenshof, but Koestritzer is very good.  Binny's used to carry this in the 5L mini-kegs.  Maybe they still do.

I bought one of those mini kegs of Kostritzer a while back. It was excellent and went quickly.

mmm. I am transfering mine to lager this weekend. 8)

Have you tried Black Forest from Squatters?  I think it is pretty darn good, but do not know how it matches up against German fare.

Thanks all. I will see what I can find. I am super excited about how this beer turned out and it is coincidentally my first lager.

Thanks. It's fun to be the brewer and the designer. It's currently my favorite schwarzbier too. ;)
