There was something called Mozart at Distelhaueser in Wuerzburg that was in the ballpark and we loved that, but then everyone else hates Distelhaueser, and were possibly just over-excited at having hit town on one of the few days they were selling it.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-57957952448448744772012-11-14T22:23:32.110+00:002012-11-14T22:23:32.110+00:00I've never been a huge fan of Oktoberfestbiers...I've never been a huge fan of Oktoberfestbiers, they are after all designed for quaffing by the litre, rather than savouring. That said, I've rarely had a bad one so I'm slightly concerned by the quality of your samples! <br /><br />Over here in Germany we've moved on to Winterbocks and xmas Weihnachtsbiers, they're also quite variable but overall they are more to my taste. <br /><br />I'm curious to know what you don't like about bocks, by the way...Bryan the BeerVikinghttp://beerviking.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-59684574550305746652012-11-14T20:31:50.405+00:002012-11-14T20:31:50.405+00:00what have you found that you liked?what have you found that you liked?beersiveknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293913182389157112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444372010882241548.post-72901503871041149642012-11-14T15:33:57.919+00:002012-11-14T15:33:57.919+00:00"On this evidence I'm beginning to think ..."On this evidence I'm beginning to think that the style is perhaps not for me"<br /><br />Same here, though we occasionally find one we like.

I enjoyed the Hacker-Pschoor most as I recall. I find something to enjoy in all beer styles but amongst them all find these "oktoberfest" beers and Bock the most challenging, though there are good examples still availableMark Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120450909482158409noreply@blogger.com
