Bierol tap Takeover at Café Lassa.
Wednesday, May 9, 2018
When I came there, the event had not officially started, yet, but the Bierol beers were already available. Bierol has brought three different tap beers with them.
- The Padawan
- Mountain Pale Ale
- Le Chevalier ABV 6,2%
My second beer of the evening was Le Chevalier. It is a very smooth Saison brewed with honey and lots of herbs and spices. It was sweet-sourish with even a slight smoked aroma and a very well-balanced beer. I enjoyed it a lot. Naturally, I also had to go for the Mountain Pale Ale, which is a Double Pale Ale and reaches 7.3%. It is brewed with a shitload of hops and has quite some citrus flavors; a delicious ale, that was voted as the Beer of Craftbierfest 2014. I also had some of the bottles that Lassa has cooled. Some of them I had known already, such as the wonderful Alefried x Wappler Brewing collab Wilde Zirbe (Wapplerzirkus), some of them I hadn’t (e.g. the Belgian Raspberry Wit called Hildegonde by Der Gallier). At some point, I had the honor of receiving a sample of a very special brew. Adi teamed up with the Der Belgier and under the name of Mad Moustache Brewing they created an American Red Ale. It is a very classic and straight-forward Red Ale, without any unnecessary fuss and very clearly brewed and an awesome bitterness. I would have it again – this time on tap – at Craftbierfest two days later.
I had an awesome time and it was the perfect warm-up for Craftbierfest. Think global, drink local. I really like that a lot and it perfectly fit. In the end, there were people of easily ten different nationalities at the bar hanging out together and drinking kick-ass Austrian craft beer. Had I known, that there were so many polaroids of people having a good time there, I would have brought my own Instax to capture a few good memories of that night. I will have to bring it next time then. I will definitely be back to Lassa. Maybe with a few records of my own. And for next time, I will not wait that long!
