I was in a inner suburban Melbourne craft beer pub once and hidden amongst the multitude of craft beer taps, emblazoned with familiar styles, one tap left out at me. It referenced a style that I'd never heard of that time - Marzen.
Curious I asked the young lady about to serve me if she could describe this alien style. She paused a second, looked around for another staff member, and replied, "um, well it's quite...beery".
She was right, it was.
This got me thinking. How many other styles are lurking out there outside my pale ale / lager / stout periphery? How many breweries were there, even in my own state that I'd never heard of? I needed to know!
So this blog is a toast to that girl behind the bar who with one uneasy quip launched me on my voyage to discover more about this drink I loved. To get inside the beeriness of beer.
