Rating: NNNN
WHAT: Kostritzer Schwarzbier Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Bad Kostritz, Germany
WHY: To illustrate how different German beer culture is, Kostritzer uses Goethe as its celebrity endorser: “?All theory, dear friend, is grey, but the golden tree of life springs ever green.’ Kostritzer! The philosopher king of beers.” With its virtual opacity, chocolatey bouquet and powerful earthy/fruity palate, KS dispenses with the notion that all lagers are light and bright.
PRICE: 500 ml/$2.35
