26/100) Grimms Brother's Brewhouse

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

Snow Drop, the Farmer's Daughter, 3 Golden Hairs

Once upon a time, there was a collection of stories compiled by Brother's Grimm. Over decades and centuries, these stories gained renown and became part of the patchwork culture that is the world. Then at an equally nebulous point in time a brewery set about to make these legends liquid. Stop by, and let the drinks tell their tales...

Snow Drop) "Tell me, glass, tell me true!  Of all the ladies in the land,  Who is fairest, tell me, who?" Alternatively known as Snow White but just like her, this Köttbusser ale is on the run from royalty as well. German's purity laws limit beer to four ingredients: water, hops, malt, and yeast. Breaking that mold, this beer is brewed with molasses, honey, and oats. The result is a semi-sweet drink with a touch of hops and an unusual mouth feel. I imagine the golden apple she's holding doesn't fall far from a perfect description of this beer's flavor profile. ☆☆☆☆

Farmer's Daughter) Sometimes known as the Clever Peasant's Daughter, the title of this beer comes from the tale of a maiden as wise as Solomon. When presented with eviction and permission to take one thing with her, she took her husband the king. "I have nothing more precious and dear than yourself, so I have brought you with me." Not so sure if this would be my beer of choice if I could only take one with me, but in classic style, this Oktoberfest is an easy drinking beer with a toasty touch to the malts and a clean finish. ☆☆☆

3 Golden Hairs) If you were sent to hell to retrieve three of the Devil's hairs, could you do it? How about if they came in the form of a robust Pilsner? If that were the case, I think that I certainly wouldn't need the help of the Devil's grandmother like the boy in the story. This beer caught me off guard with the presence of a light bitter hoppiness. Unexpected, but not unpleasant. ☆☆☆
