Great article. Looking forward to trying some of these. I was surprised that Schneider Aventinus did not medal. Did it even make the German team? Thanks for a new list of stuff to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Angie. Schneider Aventinus did not make an appearance. That's definitely a great beer though! Perhaps we'll have to have it on another episode.
