Search and you shall find. HERE is an article on "Stone Beer" and some of it is mildly disappointing because 1) there isn't a lot of information out there and 2) Some of what we think we know is wrong. Also, the earlier comments about heating the mash with the stones is correct according to this article. Pretty fascinating. The River West Steinbier is a nice, dark-amber lager, I believe. It's clean, has no smokiness, is well-balanced, etc.

Tonight I drank the Kellerbier. I’ve been saving this one for a night I wanted to cloudy lager. Does the the description sound like an ale? Are all Kellerbier lagers or can they use any yeast? I actually really enjoyed the spicy flavor.

"Firm head of foam" would NOT apply according to your picture.

"Firm head of foam" would NOT apply according to your picture. I tried to pour aggressively to produce foam. It didn’t work at all. I think the beer may have lost some carbonation in the canning process. But, it didn’t taste flat.

Today we have Derschwarzebock by Kraftbierwerkstatt. This beer is very pretty. Great color. It is also very tasty. Deep malt flavors. Biscuity bready goodness. This is one of my favorites…and I really like the can.

Today we have Alpenstoff. The app says this is a Helles, but the beer description in the app says otherwise. This is a rich flavored malty beer that is quite a bit darker than a Helles. I think it is a Oktoberfest beer. Good clarity. Easy to drink. Flavorful. Nice beer.

That looks nice. I think I would drink it but that doesn't say much.

This one had banana and clove but was quite smooth. Not like some American versions that don’t understand the art of subtlety. That said, I am not a big fan of the style, so my personal opinion on this beer is best summed up with “meh.” PS. Very few of these beers have been clear. Always a bit cloudy.

I'd probably like that one.

A friend gifted me one for some work I did for her and her husband, I have been a good boy and will try to wait until December 1st! Mrs Shagg says I won't make it.

Not Costco nor Advent Calendar, but this little package at the grocery store.
