HABERECKL STEIN (No Charge)




I discovered this European souvenir recently, at a garage sale in Orwell, Ohio. Liz and I had stopped for coffee at the local CIRCLE K, and we noted some homegrown commerce taking place across the street. The stein was buried in a collection of vintage salt & pepper shakers. Its handmade quality and European origin seemed irresistible. Amazingly, the citizen vendor threw it in with our pile of relics at no extra charge. After some searching on the 'Net, I was able to locate more info about the brewery from ALLABOUTBEER.COM:

The bier hund on Germany's best by Jim Robertson

Jim Robertson, author of the Beer-Taster's Log, tastes about 100 new beers every month and alerts All About Beer Magazine readers to the best of them.

Habereckl Feuerio Tropfen Starkbier from Burgerliches Brauhaus Zum Nabereckle PBH in Mannheim is a ruby-brown beer with rich malt aroma, enormous rich malt flavor that lasts and lasts and lasts, and is an great example of what can be done with malt alone. Feuria Tropfen means fire drops. Look for it in bottles with date/year of production.

Habereckl makes a full range of brews, including Marzen and Pilsner. They are located in Germany. Just don't try to order one after having a few pints of something else. "Bartender, I'll have a Habberlll... uh, I mean, Habreckkkkkk... uhm, Habrrrrrr... Habby... just gimmie a another beer!"
