"3rd" Basel Beer - Basler Bier


I have finally found and tried the new "Basel" beer from local organic farmer Daniel Graber. Please note I intended to use the "" around the word Basel, as this new beer is promoted to Basel, by a Basler, it is in fact brewed by the Brauerei Locher in Kanton Appenzeller.

In the pre-launch press the beer was quoted to be the 3rd Basel beer (after Ueli and Unser) missing out the what should be the 3rd beer or brewery: Käppelijoch.

The company has the slogan "Basler sy em beer" which loosely translates to the Basler golden brew. The owners inspiration for the beer was to create a bright, clear organic beer from Basel using local ingredients. Unable to find a partner with one of the existing local breweries, a brewing partner was found outside the kanton.

Currently to be found bottled at Mitte, Lällekönig and the Hilton Hotel.

On to the beer - tasting notes.
