Bier Notes
Lager 0.5 VF 4.9%
It is likely I was at Greifenklau before 2003 having stayed at the Alten Burgblick Hotel behind it in 1997, but there is no precise recording of this.
In my first visits, they only sold Lager/Helles which was somewhat disappointing in my days of obsession with Weizen. The visit here has become a starting point for the days drinking, or a taxi destination when arriving back at the station from an excursion.. Being high up the hill, it is a walk.
August 8th, 2004: this was our best ever visit. There was a Fest at Greifenklau; a small funfair in the street outside at the front, and the Biergarten behind the Gastatte was mobbed. A live band added to the atmosphere and Lord Clive and Hector’s evening was made by the company of some very lovely ladies. The fact that they were well into their 60’s made no difference. They loved their Bier.
Weizen 0.5 VF
A very worthwhile Weissbier subsequently became available.
