Forget wine: This is the perfect pairing.

with lemon slices on the side. Juicy, flavorful and light. It came with cucumber salad, which is a small heap of marinated paper-thin cucumber slices and roasted red-skinned potatoes. All of this, washed down with draft Jever...

Here is the complete list of what is on offer on Fri. nothing too exciting, I hope that the samples are not too skimpy. Complete list of beers: Pilsener: Jever Radeberger Becks Lager: Spaten Hofbräu Edelhelles Carlsberg Wheat Beer

Under 5% is “low” now ? * My favorites are probably Pikeland Pils and Jever Pilsener both hoppy pilsners and come in at 4.9 abv. One of my favorite “low” alcohol beers is probably one of the most...

MVNYC the only reason that I directed that comment at you was because of how you framed your comment on skunked Jever. I could understand if you’d never had an unskunked Jever in the States (due to pilsener's fragility) but...
