bill in Livonia Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 My wife brought me a case of Spraten Optimator beer from "Beers of the world" store in Henrietta. MAN is that some good stuff. Beer just the way I like it! It is a dark full flavored bach. Zare gut, Ya?
IndyMark Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 That is some pretty good stuff - literally my third favorite beer. I have been drinking it for awhile after I first stumbled across it at an out of town liquor store. Great find!
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 If you liked the Optimator try the Spaten Oktoberfest its great. We have a bar here at school called Steinkeller. They have over 20 beers on tap and all but a handful are German beers directly imported. They have the Optimator year round as well as the Lager, and plenty more of other great stuff. They even have live polka music on Fridays sometimes. Its a great place to sit around, shoot the schit, and put down a few steins.

Oops gotta go or I'll miss the hay ride!
Alaska Darin Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 If you ever see a Perminator, try that. Blows Optimator away.

Bad Things Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Spaten Oktoberfest is my favorite German Bier. (Ja Sure!) They have brewed it so it just barely never quenches your thirst... leaving you craving for another, then another and then another. Ein Prosit!
KD in CA Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Spaten Oktoberfest is my favorite German Bier. (Ja Sure!) Same here. It's good stuff.
Rubes Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Ah, the Optimator. Many good memories with that one. I'll have to look for that Perminator, sounds interesting...
Ghost of BiB Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 This is not strictly football related, much less an insightful Buffalo Bills thread. Please move this to any other forum you might like...but not here. You are distracting TRUE fans from the Super Bowl.

Ein Prosit! 506174[/snapback] I'm a big fan of Munich Beers. If you like Spaten you would love Paulaner or Augustiner. They are the two most respected breweries in Munich.
Pete Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Awesome stuff! Try the Maximator brew. The Germans might not make the best beer in the world but noone loves beer more then the Germans! I sent some postcards from Munich and they postmarked them with a pitcher of beer. Between German girls and German beer-I fuggin love Germany! Vall Geil, Eh! Prost!

Simon Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 From the uselsess information file: We used to call 'em "Spittin' Monkeys" when we were younger.
nick in* england Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Actually - I think you guys should try to get your hands on some bottle of the following beers from England: Spitfire (Kentish Ale) Osprey Bombadier London Pride Bishops Finger Waggledance Greene King IPA Honey Dew (affectionaly known by my wife as Bee Poo)
BillsFanNC Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 So you enjoy the dopplebock style? Any beer named xxx-"ator" is a dopplebock. A dark, malty, lightly hopped lager. Optimator is good, also see if you can pick up Salvator or Celebrator. Be careful though, these beers typically range from 7-9% abv.

The only Munich beers I come across are Spaten, Franziskaner and Lowenbrau.
