A new country, A new beer!
Yessss, as you all know I am always game for entering the #beersaturday competition hosted by@detlev , but I only want to enter with something cool normally.
Cool doesn’t always mean an exceptional taste, but it means a beer with a story. And this week a beer coming from my new home Lucerne is the winner of the week!
Eichhof!
Coming from the locale region here it seems more than fair that this beer gets some attention.
As you see on the back label here it is brewn with water from the Pilatus mountain and that is exactly the mountain that you can see a piece of on the right side of the mountains. It often covered in clouds, but when is not..... A beauty!!
The quality of the water here is really the bomb. You can ever drink the water from the rivers because it is fresh melting water from the snow from the mountains. Sounds perfect for beers right??
Details
Looking for the original website that seems to be dead for some background info, I ended up on Wikipedia. I learned there that brewing in this region started in the year 1300, so these mountain folks surely know what they are doing!
I love the fact that there is a twisting cap on this bottle. For some reason a lot of people are not too fond of it, but not everybody has the ability to open a beer with a fork/lighter/table/another bottle when an opener is coincidentally not there. ( I was raised in a region in Holland people do have this skill :D I dont know if that is something good or bad, but it is at least convenient ahahha)
Eichhof is a fresh lager that I surely will enjoy over the next couple weeks while staying here in the mountains! Why, you ask? Because I think you should always support your local community!!
Cheers!
😂👍
A beer on the roof in the mountains,..what can go wrong Im asking :)
Lol, uhuh, 'supporting the local community' - you've found your perfect excuse to drink beer I see :D
You have to see things in perspective @soyrosa ;)
and you are exactly seeing the way how good i am integrating :D
Mountain stream beers are the best! Nothing but pure water...🍻
There does exist a beer fountain, google it ;)
Cool idea! Bet they get lots of tourists. A place I have to visit...
BOAH!! That is exactly the location to do a meetup @cecicastor and @warrkin
A beer fountain coming from a mountainstream.. I see potential!
What a great location it would be!
Mmmm sounds delicious, so many good beers around the world .... I must try them all! Haha!
hahaha, that can be lifes journey already, trying alllll beers around the world!
Ohhhhh what a dream that would be, 🍻
You can also open a bottle with 1euro coin, key's (not recommended) and even with teeth ( definitely not recommanding ).
Looks like a good company for weeks up in mautains, always support locals, Cheers!
hehehe, I didnt want to mention those options but I DID think of those hahaha
seeing some people loose their teeth over a beer in that way haha
Gotta watch out how you chose to drink ;)
Nice post and the beer looks great!!
Ej @rynow long time no see!!
Let me see whats going on with you guys there, here is bloody summer..is it cold by you guys??
It is freezing for us - the minimum so far was zero, which is cold for us!! Summer will soon be on its way again, I can't wait for it.
Hahahahha, zero by you guys seems kind of weird but I suppose it happens more often right?
Yeah spring is just around the corner, just wait!
here is my Prost for this one.
Love the beer opener GIF
Its a beauty right!
Actually the best way to open a bottle hahahaha. Undervalued skill :D
