Heading to Hofbräuhaus in Pittsburgh this weekend. they are tapping their Braunbier, an old traditional and most popular prior to the wheat beer.
Looking forward to a few liters of this 
Am I right it’s a Dunkel-ish lager ? I haven’t been to the Hofbrauhaus in Newport for a while - need to get down there, like in the spring.
right. more sweet malt than dunkel, yet very crisp and refreshing. we do a trip every year to cinci/newport on the harley. the best Hofbräuhaus outside of Munich IMO. We just got one in Cleveland-very nice and its always packed. Dont ever waste your time on the one in Vegas…poor representation and food quality.
I’ve heard the same about Vegas. Love Newport. That lager sounds great, btw.
Great seasonal beers tapped in spring - March is the Dopplebock, April Hopfen Spezial , and May Maibock.
Yeah, I’ve had the dopple and mai, but not the April beer. Great bocks. Now I have to go soon !
We will have to check them out too. Getting ready for Cincinnati’s “Bockfest”
Never had one from any of the Haufbraus, but the one that Klosterbraeu in Bamberg makes is very tasty.
Good to know about the location in Vegas. I’ve driven by it several times but never made it over.
I did visit the one in south beach in Lincoln Mall. Some sausage a liter of crisp lager really hit the spot in the damp heat.
yeah that miami location (Hofbräu Beer Hall) is their version of the smaller scale full blown Hofbräuhaus locations. lets them put their beer and a restaurant in locations on a much smaller scale.
I’ve arrived, it’s good, and I’m happy!
Looks like Newport. Damn I gotta get there ! Looks great.
It is- just smaller
Well at least their beers aren’t ;) That’s a pretty looking beer. If I don’t get down there this month, it’ll be soon.
Das schweinshaxen…sehr gut!
That’s the other half of the party - their food. Love the schweinshaxen.
Ones the wife’s, ones mine … Hmmm ???
I’m 4L deep boys…it’s a good night
Careful getting home Ken
No worries…it’s a cab both directions tonight
