Landbier
Posted by Josh Oakes on 2003-02-03 11:42:28
Fred, I've got a few Germans disputing my definition of Landbier. I basically see it as an unfiltered, ungesplundet lager, but malt-accented as opposed to the hop-accented kellerbier. These Germans on the other hand reckon that landbier is a cute name that breweries give to their pils or helles to make it seem more quaint or artisanal. What are your thoughts on the matter?
