In Bavaria 'fresh' lager is pretty much 'just made', by some standards. They don't really like even shipping beer overland, as shown by their dedication to small local brewers they can often walk to.
The lively, delicate freshness of Bavarian lager vom Faß is only approached here by exceptional, fresh unpasteurized samples of our regional micro brews, which is all small Bavarian brewhouses do really. That reminds me, I must try the other Denisons beers...

Which "other Denisons beers"? The ones that used to be brewed at the long-closed brewpub? All that's currently available is the Weisse and the Dunkel.Belgian wrote:That reminds me, I must try the other Denisons beers...
Okay then. Haven't tried the Dunkel, are there really no others appearing at Volo or anywhere? Well the Weisse is truly a bright star at any rate.GregClow wrote:Which "other Denisons beers"?

Speaking of freshness, last weekend (Jan 14) I purchased a 9-pack of Cameron's Auburn at the Dufferin/Wilson LCBO that was labelled as having been bottled on January 6/06. It was superb - easily the best Cameron's I have ever had. That really convinced me that, in some beers at least, it pays to search for the freshest possible product.
