Steiglbock marks my American return, and the Grammys kinda suck

Started my day in Munich, definitely a little hung over from the house party last night. Had a good flight, got home around 8, unpacked a little then cracked this. As Steigl is a staple of any trip to Austria, figured this would make for a good transition beer.

Can really smell this right away. Has a strong Bock flavor and is fairly high alcohol at 7%, a bit of a warmer. I'm also now realizing I haven't eaten much today, this is going right to my brain via my empty stomach. Not much to say about the Grammy Awards, other than I've been watching them, bluh.

This beer is David Hasselhoff, because Austrians love the Hof and the beer is a bit darker, AND they actually played a Hof song last night and people raged.

ALSO - check out the new sipper. Have been looking to "acquire" a Rocheforte glass for a long time.

Hofbrau Original, a hundred feet from home.

In Chicago with Lindsey and upon arriving at her place, discovered there was a Hofbrau bar about 100 feet from her plce and she didn't know. Decided to take advantage of this immediately. Started with a .5L of the Oktoberfest, but I'll pretend like that didn't happen. Then shared a liter of original Hofbrau with LaLa.

Lindsey after 3 sips. "It's very smooth. It has taste. It had good head. I like it. It has a hoppy aftertaste but not so strong that it makes me feel like I can't breathe on anyone else."

Hofbrau is so simple and delicious. There's just nothing wrong with it. The Bavarian hops and clean crispness are the highlights.

Lindsey suggested that this beer is should be the Hoff, but come on, yeah right. Ok, fine. Hofbrau can be David Hasselhoff, but not for all the reasons that make Hasselhoof a big embarrassment. For other reasons, like...
