I found a supplier which will sell German beer for € 46,- per 50 litres. We're planning on bringing 1000 litres next year, and so the price difference becomes worth considering.

Paddy, please be careful!

The fact that beer is from Germany doesn't mean anything these days and doesn't guarantee quality, besides some real high class beers there's also plenty of cheap horsepiss around here in Germany and € 46 for 50 litres sounds just like that. -X :-X :-X (unless it is a very special offer).

If you wan't to buy german beer, you'll be on the safe side when sticking to brand names, e.g. the "Bitburger" brewery never gave us headaches ;D ;D

Cheers

Werner

Werner, does "Prinz Hendrick pils" say anything to you?
Sounds dodgy, maybe. But we'll test in January, and if it's no good it's no go.

Thanks Werner :)

Paddy, I've never heard of "Prinz Hendrick Pils", so please do thorough short run and long run test programs before deciding upon it .
Also do a compliance test with BBQ food and hamburgers ;D ;D ;D

Cheers

I like the idea of a bbq test.  I'm sure you're also trying a "tenth pint as good as the first test"

Please bear in mind that Pils is short for "Pilsener" after Plzen in the Czech republic, so this beer has a mixed heritage.  The name has been hijacked so often we even have it in England.

But do keep up the research in the name of science.  Personally, I'll stick to Kronenburg.  About 45p a pint, but you know what you're getting and if you change your mind you can always buy Heineken or Becks.

I've just found Prinz Hendrick on a Nederlands website, but what does Alcohol vrij bier mean?

That's what it is! That certainly wouldn't suit DfH.

I was hoping someone would fall for that.  Paddy must be panicing

What I've just realised is , how do you carry draft beer round.  I wander round with a cold 6 pack in a rucksack.  It can last over an hour.  How many feet of hosepipe would I need carry to maintain supplies of draft.
