Innocently, I drove to my favourite beer store today for getting some bottles for tonites board game evening with friends.
I was happy to find some new brews of my most liked German brasseries (Meister and Unertl; tasting notes later), but the most astonoshing thing happened, when I went towards the cashier. It was a beer bottle, designed like the Belgian ones. And the label said that it is an IPA, brewed in Germany, Bonn. What happened? My favorite beer, brewed by a brasserie in my small home town???? I gabbed of course on bottle and asked the boss, whether he might give me some background notes.
That's what he told me: Fritz is a Bonn-based expert on Belgian beer and he is close with a well-known Belgian beer sommelier. After tasting so many beers, both decided to brew some favorite beers themselves. The first one was an IPA, followed by a Stout. He rents some space in a brewery in Cologne and in the monastery in Siegburg for brewing and storing in barrels. This sounds more than interesting!! I did not taste the IPA so far, but will do it very soon. My tasting notes will follow soon.
This is, for the beginning, the website of the Belgian-Bonn brewery: www.fritzale.de
