Last year, while vacationing in Vermont, I stumbled upon some cans of Nuremberg's Tucher Festbier. Being very familiar with Nuremberg's brews from my army days in Germany, I was never a fan of Tucher as German beers go, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in Vermont.
This week, while shopping at Total Wines and More I found they were selling 4-pack cans of Tucher Pils, so I decided to try it out. Four cans cost me about 9+ dollars. Each can is 1 pint 9 fluid ounces at 5.0% alcohol.
It was good, though I preferred the above-mentioned Tucher Oktoberfest. If pils is your preference, it is worth a try.
The Tucher brewery, which dates back to 1672, has its own restaurant, the Tucher Mautkeller, located in the heart of the old town. The ancient city itself is well worth a visit. In addition, the city has two beer fests, one in spring and one in the fall. Aside from that, Tucher beer is also sold at neraly Erlangen's annual beerfest, the Bergkirchweih, held in May-June for 12 days during the Pentecost period .It is Germany's oldest beer fest.
