http://AbsOfBeerTV.com presents the next exciting episode of AbsOfBeerTV where Brian Smith and John Jansen continue to explore the wonderful world of craft beer. Now, in their Plank Bier Garten (OK, the studio) they are sampling four fantastic beers from Germany’s family owned Plank Brewing by Brauerei Michael Plank. What a treat!

They also get to show off their super cool and multi-purpose watches thanks to the folks at HappyHourTimePieces.com

John sends his apologies to the nice beer distributor in Michigan who provided the beers for the show and who’s name escaped him. He said he would make it up to you somehow!

Also… Dave Stein makes his debut as The Voice of Trip Od, our camera guy. Thank you @SkatterBrainzz for your German interpretations!

Sit back, grab a bier and enjoy!

Prost,
AbsOfBeerTV

Flight of Beers at the Weeping Radish! Watch what an incredible time Brian and John had with Uli Bennewitz at the Weeping Radish Farm Brewery in Jarvisburg, North Carlolina. They tried five fantastic beers while Uli shared his stories of past and present.

Look!  We got Sophie in a picture afterall!

Beers in the Flight:

  1. Radler – A Radler is a mixture of lemonade and beer. Weeping Radish uses Real Lemonade sweetened with the Stevia plant and Weeping Radish Kolsch beer. ABV? Low. Perfect for a hot day.
  2. Corolla Gold – A German lager style. If you are a lager drinker, this is a must try… Light (but not a “lite” beer) and not filling. I’m feeling a session coming on! ABV – 5.0
  3. Weitzen – German wheat style beer… Brewed with 100% German wheat, banana on the nose and taste. Very drinkable weitzen! ABV – 4.7%
  4. Black Radish – This spectacular German Schwartzbier is listed as “One of the 50 Beers before you die!” This one was slipped into the show by Uli and we’re so glad he did! ABV – 4.6%
  5. Christmas Bier – And the crowd goes wild!! The seasonal Dopplebock Christmas Bier was certainly the reason for the season this year. What an amazing beer… Dopplebocks are definately one of Brian’s favorites. They won’t say how many Christmas Bier’s they brought back from North Carolina or how many lasted through the weekend! ABV – 8.2%
