This post is a part of the 2015 New Beer Every Day Beer Diary Challenge, #ottbeerdiary.  Over the course of 2015, I will be trying a new beer every day. Please read the background in the link above, and enjoy reading about the most recently tasted beers below. If you’d like to join the challenge as well, let me know in the comments below, and be sure to check out Grown-up Travel Guide and his #grownupbeerdiary, where Andy Higgs came up with the diary format in use below. You can catch up on all of our posts as part of the challenge under the tag ottbeerdiary.

Day 140: May 20, 2015

Diary entry:

 

More workshops today.

Just a normal day at work. Doing everything we can to keep our progress going. Need to get as far as possible before the summer holidays begin.

Interesting experience to end the day, needing to run to the hospital with Erin due to an allergic reaction. This was my first experience with the medical system here in the Netherlands.  After more than 10 years traveling to and living here, I had never been to a doctor, to a hospital, or anything before.

An overnight stay required for observation. Though everything seems to be going well…

The Beer:

20-May-2015 : Oettinger Pils by Oettinger Brauerei. Not bad at all for a pilsner. #ottbeerdiary
Oettinger Pils by Oettinger Brauerei

Name: Oettinger Pils

Style: German Pilsner

Producer: Oettinger Brauerei

Alcohol content: 4.7%

Bottle size: 0.5l

Purchased from: Albert Heijn supermarket in Boxtel.

A better than average pilsner. One of the more common and less expensive brands of German Pilsner that can be found in the groceries here in the Netherlands, yet one of the better brands as well.

Commercial Description (translated from the label):

Bohemian villages? Is there not for our master brewer. OETTINGER beer tastes fine dry and typical of the variety – just like a pilsner. NULL EXTRAS. Very classic. Beer after Pilsener style is a bottom-fermented beer. It is a little stronger hopped and thus a little bitter than other full beers. Perhaps it is therefore the most popular type of beer in Germany. And our most popular product.

    And that is actually one of the few ‘other’ beers we can sometimes get our hands on in Turkey. We love it when we see something different, here. Yeah, this is one of the more common beers, but we love it all the same. 🙂

      I’m very lucky to be able to find as many different beers here in the Netherlands. Living in Taiwan, this was definitely much more of a chore. I’m not sure I could imagine what it would be like somewhere with even more limited selections!
