The Germans cfesa may be traditional in their beer drinking, but that


We leave Joh.Albrecht Brauhaus and head as previously cfesa mentioned, down to the Reeperbahn. After sneaking around there for a while and watched the people, käkat currywurst and marveled at how many strip clubs and sex shops, it really can be marketed for, it was now time to head up to what I have been told to be the best place for hantverksöl in Hamburg.
Before leaving, I checked around on various blogs and forums to find the best locations to pass the time on. Through Rate Beer I was contacted by a guy who lives in Hamburg and was eager to give me tips on the few pubs and such, and the Altes Mädchen Braugasthaus was one of them as he talked about the warmest. He wrote; "You are lucky. 2 weeks ago a game-changer for the scene opened here (I have not visited it yet, but everyone who had, loved it). Altes Mädchen: http://altes-maedchen.de/en/ 9-12 taps some exclusive for them and 50-60 bottles, some very hard to find germans. The food is overpriced great, made by gourmet chefs. You Can either select a specific plate, have tapas, or take a variety platter. It is more expensive than the average German cfesa restaurant but it is certainly worth it. "So it was clear that we had to go there! cfesa We walked about 30 minutes north towards Lagerstrasse and when we arrived so we did not place. The only thing available was a brewery called Knob Lord and a lot of brick buildings. After a bit of wandering back and forth we finally found a large outdoor area and thought this must be it! We went in, and there were .. Coffee. A large bloody hipstercafé. Jahapp. We went out again, and a little further down the street I saw a large pennant, and we went that way .. And there it was. Difficult to find, but we thought it must surely be worth it after his praise!
Once inside, we see a very large, newly built, fresh and cruel nice pub with 10-12 taps and two fridges with beer (around 50, I got it). Supply of beer was undeniably the greatest in Hamburg, however, say it is not so much for us Swedes who are accustomed to lugging down to our nearest Bishops and have twice as much beer just there. On the barrel it was a little more than half that belonged to Lord Rats and the remaining was a guest beer from including Weissbierbrauerai Hopf and Schneider & Sohn. In the coolers, we find rather mixed, ranging from American IPA and pale ale, to British bitters, to Belgian quads and lambics. A pretty fun mix with other words. Something that was also was one or two beers from Firestone Walker, an absolutely fantastic brewery from California who do not export to Sweden. However, the apparently go to find their beers here and there in Germany, however, this was only place I saw it on during this stay.
The Germans cfesa may be traditional in their beer drinking, but that's a far more traditional Olland than Sweden is .. And that is fine in itself, those who are best at German beer is of course the Germans himself. But it is still warm in the soul that even they want to start experimenting, try more, try again, and it's places like this that show that there are Germans who want to bring the international ölrevolutionen forward. So we took the beer and sat down on the terrace. J ag took a glass of Germany's best DIPA, Fritz Ale, really nicely balanced and fruity beer. The sun shone on us pretty good at that time and it was really nice to sit out there and just chilling.
We sat there a while and I tried a couple of beers from the Wheel Lord, among other things, their pale ale that was really good! Just in time hopped without it taking over, lots of citrus and pine. Cruel session beer if you should happen to get sick of beer while in Germany. Would have been nice to see some export this brewery, think they may release a lot of fun things in the future. After an hour's time so clouded over that a little bit and the temperature dropped a few degrees and then we went in and sat down instead. I took a glass of Rats Lord Zwickel cfesa Bier (short, unfiltered beer, more or less the same thing as keller bier) and marveled at how cloudy it was. I know it's unfiltered, but it looked kind viscous out, so it was cloudy then. I do not know how it is in relation to his style when I only drank two or three Zwickel Bier's earlier, but it was good anyway!
The clock ticked slowly and the bar began to fill up with more and more people. We wondered if we would eat here or move on, but we (I) was really keen on German grub so we went. This was atleast a really nice place with relatively much beer. Above all, it was a lot of beer in comparison with the rest of the town. Great with proof that the Germans also want to develop! Next and last stop: Green Inger Braukeller.
