Last year, we met up with Ron Pattinson (http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/) in Cask (http://www.caskpubandkitchen.com/) and spent a few hours discussing Franconia, East Germany and His Big Book. Ron spotted Schlenkerla Helles (http://thebeernut.blogspot.com/2008/09/we-will-rauch-you.html) in the fridge and recommended it.
We’d not tried it before and loved it. There is no smoked malt in the beer but, being brewed in the same building and with the same equipment as their darker smoked beers, it can’t help but pick up a bit of smokiness.
We never got round to writing this up and, in the months since then, we haven’t seen it on sale in Cask. Our favourite London pub has recently, however, even further expanded it’s beer selection and the Helles has popped up again so were able to enjoy a couple of bottles this week.
In fact, if you’re a fan of Rauchbier, Cask now has several different varieties on offer, in addition to the usual suspects from Schlenkerla.
