Anyone know anything about this beer? Can you get it in the US?
Yes. German wheat bock brewed in Erding, Germany. The brewer is well-known for its wheat beers, and Erding is north-northeast of Munich, not far from Munich Airport. It's okay, but I waaay prefer Schneider Aventinus.
Usually. Depends on where you live, though.
I'll second that. I preferred the Aventinus 2000 & Aventinus Eisbock too. Not sure about the Aventinus bierschnapps, since I'm more into beer than liquors, but that was tasty enough I suppose, especially with kaesespaetzle. Mm, kaesespaetzle...
Hallolle Bill Becker,

Kaesspaetzle:
I don't know, what cheese dumplings are.
Kaesspaetzla are a special kind of noodle (Spaetzle) with cheese, only genuine in Schwobaland (southwest Germany most south). You need Spaetzle, Chees and I also take onions.
Its an egg noodle. YOu mix flour and egg and water and then run the mixture through a sieve of sorts into a pot of boiling water then scoop them out. The cheese part come later. You can collectr the noodles in a pan, cover them with cheeese, and then bake it. Also good with onions and mushrooms.

Ahh..I've tried packaged versions of Spaetzle from the grocers. Pretty nice but I do prefer Kartoffelknoedel, especially with Sauerbraten. Yum yum says this ex Weiner who's birth name was Werner.
Spaetzle apear to be the same as what my Mother used to make at home in my formative years..excuse my poor German...Knoekels(sp?)
Best regards, Bill
I don't normally follow up my own posts, but I screwed this bit up... I was actually researching the correct name, but hit send before I was ready.
It's actually Schlossbrauerei Herrngiersdorfer that we found.
Which reminds me... I also mentioned that a friend was collecting weissbier glasses, and more than once when he inquired about buying a glass, the server said "oh, just take it". Is this common? Does the price of bier include the cost of a glass or something?
(I'm aware that biergartens often charge extra, but they include tokens to return to get that extra back; no such thing in these cases).
Hi Russ,
coming from Germany I could tell you that this is absolutely not common. In some pubs you may buy the glass (usually for a not justified price) but some pubs do not even sell them, I do not know why. But to find a pub which give them away for free, is very hard.
Greetings from Germany and Prost,
Bastian
