European Pale Lager Beer Reviews

Zipfer Original Lager

Continuing with the Euro Lagers I direct my attention to a brand called Zipfer. The brewery is located in Upper Austria in the little town of Zipf (makes sense I guess). I went to the distributor’s website and they claim that this is “one of the best beer in Austria...

Golden Pheasant

For some reason I always thought this beer was from Germany, Denmark, or the Netherlands. With a name like Golden Pheasant I would have never guessed it was from Slovakia. I stand corrected. Apparently, they are about the business of making a “premium quality lager...
