Schloßbräuerei translates to "Castle Brewery".

Are you caught up now? Ahead? Behind? If you're behind it seems like a good weekend to catch up. If you're ahead, it seems like a good weekend to go to Costco and get more.

Still a day behind, but that's OK... #23 is Fürst Carl Kellerbier by Fürst Carl Schloßbräuerei in Ellingen. 5.1% ABV This is another unfiltered "Cellar Beer". Pours a hazy light gold with a fluffy white head. Good malt backbone, with good hop bitterness and that spicy noble hop flavor that I like. This was very tasty!

If Costco has any of these left after Christmas, I wonder if they'll be marked down. I think that's a pretty big IF. I think these usually sell out.

We've finally reached the end of this adventure... #24 is Kartäuser Doppelbock Dunkel by Privatbrauerei Egerer in Grossköllnbach. 7.5% ABV (Once again, the can says Privatbrauerei Egerer but internet says Memminger Brauerei in Memmingen.) Doppelbock is one of my favorites. Especially Ayinger Celebrator (Paulaner Salvator is another favorite.) Kartäuser may be lacking a bit in the body for this style, but the flavors are dead on! Rich caramel malt with just a touch of roast. A doughy, bready aroma. Just a touch of hop bitterness. I hope you've all enjoyed this journey with me. I think I'll be buying these calendars as long as Costco keeps selling them! German brewers perfected the art of making beer and gave us many classic styles. As much as I love American, English, and Belgian beers, I think they all owe a lot to the Germans. I've learned a lot from this. Cheers!

Jim, thanks for posting all of those and giving us some tasting and visual notes. I'm hoping that my bud picked one up for me and I'll grab it tomorrow.

My bud got back to me and said there weren't any more of the advent calendar packs in his store.
