I have been collecting "Bierdeckels" from the year 1981 on. German "Bierdeckels" I have all in all one box, And beermats from other countries another box. I use them every day, and not only under beer glasses...Read the history of the "Bierdeckels" under the link above or in German wiki, it is very interesting!
Here is my first ever "Bierdeckel" from the German city called "Hof". The date is 29th of April 1981. At that time Hof was was still a boarder city between West and East Germany. Not any more, as you may also know...
By the way...Have you ever tasted Swiss "Appenzellerbier" ? Very tasteful, good quality, nice bottle labels and beautiful beverage coasters (Bierdeckels) in my opinion. Or what do you think?
In Austria they have the "Puntigamer Bier"...
...and in Germany "Köstritzer" . The Köstritzer, "Schwarzbier" coming originally from the eastern part of the Germany is very tasteful German lager darkbeer. Try it next time, when in Germany. I think it is not so well known as it should be...
At home of the beer, in Germany they have very many good beer marks and of different sizes and forms of beer glasses. One of them is "Kölsch" coming from Cologne and served in a small glass.
Well, I will continue these stories about beer another day. During more than 30 years I have collected many "Bierdeckels", visited many destinations in the the German speaking countries and tasted tens or hundreds of beers...In other words, many stories coming on one day...
But now "Prost" in German or "Kippis" in Finnish. Taste a Beer with "Spreewäder Gurken" (Pickled cucumber from Spreewald area, Brandenburg Germany). Pickled cucumber taste the best in a eastern way! The cucumber of this kind may come from Germany, Finland, eastern part of Europe, Russia...
