As a homebrewer, I often beg for request empty bottles from friends and local bars. While cleaning up and de-labeling a haul from the Bier Stein, an obvious idea hit me:
Read the labels before scraping them off. You just might get ideas for beers you want to drink.
From just one batch of bottles, this simple insight has yielded 6 beers I want to try:
- Double Dragon, Felinfoel Brewery, "The National Ale of Wales"
- Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier, "Bavarian style"
- Biere De Miele, Rabbit's Foot Meadery, "Golden Ale Fermented with Honey"
- Paulaner Salvator Double Bock
- Bavarian-Weissbier Hefeweisse
- Diabhal, Rabbit's Foot Meadery
A rack of clean bottles and 6 leads for new beers? Sounds good.
