Erdinger Pikantus

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.

Oh, Guess

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.

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
