Yay! It took till day two to get a beer I'd not had before. It's also one I've never heard of before, so I needed to look-up the brewery. They claim to be old, sort of. The actual brewery has been in the family about 100 years. But, but, the brewery itself has some kind of heritage going back to the 15th century, and there have been brewers in Tann for at least two hundred more years than than. So, old. Honest. Tann? Where's that? So, go east from Munich until you are exactly north of Salzburg - it's there.
The beer is interesting. It's mostly typical, except for the hops. There are more of them than you'd expect, and they're sort of, well, Mancunian. That autumn leaves kind of aroma, with hints of socks after a good day's geocaching, and a nice, festive tangerine flavour rounding it all off quite nicely.
The same brewery also does a beer to honour the current Pope, and their Schlankl Weisse promises an old-style Bavarian Hefeweizen. There is about to be an eight-day hiatus in advent calendar tasting, due to a trip to Germany, so I'll have to look out for those two.
