What with moving house this spring, we didn’t get to go on our usual May or June trip to Germany. As a result, amongst other things, we are Jonesing bad for a decent pils.
Pils is a broad term in Germany. Depending on the region, it can mean anything from a fairly gently hopped, 4%, golden lager served by the half litre in a chunky krug, to something super-bitter and very pale served in a delicate stemmed glass.
Right now, with the sun shining, we’d happily take a Spital (http://boakandbailey.com/2007/04/26/nice-places-to-drink-in-regensburg-upper-bavaria/), a Wuerzburger Hofbrau (http://boakandbailey.com/2008/06/30/wuerzburg-part-2-%E2%80%93-wuerzburger-hofbrau/), or a Distelhauser (http://boakandbailey.com/2008/06/26/wuerzburg-part-1-%E2%80%93-distelhaeuser-alte-mainzmuehle-gasthof/). Anything, really, as long as it had the appropriate level of zing (http://boakandbailey.com/2010/02/11/a-certain-i-dont-know-what/) and touch of the Gothic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackletter) about it.
Even one of our own Eppingwalders (http://boakandbailey.com/2009/04/08/eppingwalder-pils/) would do.
Sigh. Or we could just enjoy being where we are, drinking the excellent beers we do have at hand. But, you know, a craving is a craving...
