Zoigl

This is Zoigl mania gone completely crazy!  We've got Zoigl brewed in Regensberg and several other Oberpfalzische towns with absolutely no zoigl connections, zoigl brewed in the Allgau, and, now, Zoigl brewed in Manchester.

When will people realise that Zoigl is not a type of beer but a way of life that only exists when there is a Kommunbrauerei and authentic Zoigl stub'n that ferment the stuff.  I really sympathise with Martin Popp's complaints about the situation.  It's absolutely crazy that EU laws will not allow some measure of protection for 'Echte Zoigl'.
