It must be Brauerei Krug from Geisfeld in Franconia. I haven't heard of Grande Cuvee, but their Ungespundetes Kellerbier is highly spoken of. Still pricey though.
There are two Brauereien in Geisfeld. Krug brews a Dunkel and a rotating monthly beer. Griess brews the outstanding Kellerbier (ungespundetes or not, I'm not sure, unfiltered at any rate--practically bottle conditioned), a rather lame Pils, and an amazing Xmas Bock.
Back in the day I was the cellarman at Glyndebourne Opera. One of the tasks each day was to stock the champagne bar. A lovely glass of Krug was my reward. Happy Days
What type of beer is that then? Seems a bit expensive to me.
ReplyDeleteHow many cases did you buy?

ReplyDeleteHow long are you in Glasgow for?
