Brauerei Roppelt Kellerbier

Roppelt's kellerbier is the kind of beer that disappears. There's a clean, almost mineral snap on the first sip, followed by a whisper of grain sweetness that feels honest rather than engineered. The carbonation is soft, letting you taste the actual beer instead of the bubbles. It's the definition of a workhorse beer—the kind Bavarian farmers drank because it was good, not because it was special.

Wulle Landbier

Wulle hits slightly rounder on the palate. There's a touch more body here, a bready middle that sits longer on your tongue before fading into a dry finish. It's still restrained and dry, but it feels like it's trying a notch harder to register. The yeast character is a bit more visible—slightly earthy, slightly funky in the good way.
