Joe Stange: Smoke & Shadow Exploring Lager’s Roots Around Bamberg

Well chaps, I stand well and truly corrected!  But how sad that so much of the world is missing out on the truly excellent ales that result from top fermentation.

So, it's back to my studies of the medieval origins of the 'kommunbrau' system - BTW does any know what the word 'stiftisch' means?  It seems that brewing in 15C Eschawo was divided between 'stiftischen Brauende' and brewers who were under the control of the 'Hofmark' (feudal system of rule).  I've searched all over the web but cannot find this word, except in relation to a 'gymnasium' somewhere in N. Germany.  Seems to be connected with craft guilds and the like.  One for you Nick?
