Re: That's Just Wrong

If I'm recalling correctly, Texas is the only state that requires the "ale" designation for beer of a certain strength.

Incidentally, A-B argued in favor of changing the "ale" labeling law in favor of allowing it to be used as a descriptive style/brewing method designator, not as a marker of strength:

Other way around: A-B is trying to talk Modelo into selling A-B the other half it doesn't already own.

Pity InBev doesn't have much of anything to do with them.

Oh - InBev is a Belgian company according to you? To me it is a Brazilian-steered multinational... Joris

Oddly enough, some of the Mexican beer makers have beer more toward their German roots than does A-B. Negra Modelo is one of the few mass made Vienna style lagers available outside of Austria. It is great with spicy food too.

Negra Modelo is one of the few mass-made Vienna-style lagers, period. The style has nearly disappeared from Austrian brewing. Vienna's remaining big production brewery, Ottakringer, markets a "Schnitt," which is sorta like an old-style Vienna lager, but is actually a blend of their pale and dark lagers. Their "Zwickl rot" is a red unfiltered lager that is something like a rustic, yeasty version of a Vienna lager.

Otherwise, revivalist Vienna lagers are pretty much the domain of small specialist brewers, particularly Vienna's Siebenstern and Salm brewpubs.
