Keep in mind that I am not a recreational beer drinker, but like wine, I can enjoy a good flavored beer with food, at times.
I had been trying to find good German beers at local grocery stores, but no stores in the area seem to carry even the poorer German beers. It was really getting frustrating and I finally found a place, local, that would ship for just $4.99 USD and had reasonable pricing on their German beer products, - and good quality German beers at that. However, they were 'out of stock' on the Ayinger Maerzen, which I really wanted some. I can get some, but with a $14.99 USD shipping charge from Southern California. It'll have to wait. Octoberfest is still a couple months away.
I was able to get a good hefeweisse and a good doppelbock, but the place I ordered from would only ship a minimum order of about $30 USD. So, I have beer to last for months to come, - as I don't drink beer or wine for that matter, as a regular habit or need to.
The Bavarian Wehenstephaner hefe weissbier is touted as the best or one of the best hefeweisses available. I have never tried it before, so I have great expectations.
The Ayinger Celebrator doppelbock is a beer that I have had before. I like dark beers and this is one that agrees with me for a good flavored beer, even with a burger and fries. To make that $30 minimum order, I got two 4-packs.
Here's a link (care of Drizly) to that Ayinger Maerzen that I want to get by Octoberfest ...
