Well Lookit That
4/25 '23
Guess I'm just going to have to try number 2.
For the record - it's a rain day, so I'm back at my favorite local coffee shop (The Spokesman).
If you're curious, a quick search yields this article about Lichtenhainer beers at the Beer Advocate.
Heh. Spellcheck auto corrected the beer name to my last name.
Update:
It's delicious! Honestly, I've never had anything like it before. I suppose I should point out that I'm generally not a 'beer guy' so maybe this sort of flavor is more common than I realize, but...
It seems salty and sour. Kinda like a dill pickle brine. Obviously, I wouldn't drink a dill pickle brine down, but this is in that direction. If nothing else, it's something interesting for a change.
Also:
In the Mario Brothers series of games, my understanding is that you play the Mario Brothers and have to rescue Princess Peach. Then, Bowser immediately recaptures her and wash, rinse, and repeat.
This seemed... like it was in need of an update. So I didn't spend long on this, but I wanted to get the idea down before I lost it.
…a lot…
Just that it wouldn’t be a go to. But this seemed like something I could drink fairly regularly. I won’t, because it’s apparently a seasonal ‘ short run, but…
Also it's perfect that the beer with (almost) your name is the beer you like.
I know "Lichtenwalner" means "Light in the Woods" so Lichtenhainer is "Light in the something".
"Hainer" is a name and translates as a name as far as I can find with some quick googling/translation dictionary searching.
This is as close as I could get to a translation of the name, "Hainer Name Meaning
South German: from the ancient Germanic personal name Haginher composed of the elements hag ‘hedge enclosure’ + hari heri ‘army’."
Light in the army's hedge?
