\"TheThe Beer Nut has posted the topic for Session #25: Lager Love.<\/a><\/p>\n

So for this Session, let’s get back to basics. I’m sure I’m not the only one whose early drinking career featured pale lager in abundance, so consider this a return to our roots as beer drinkers. Don’t even think about cheating the system: leave your doppelbocks and schwarzbiers out of this one: I want pilsners, light lagers, helleses and those ones that just say “beer” because, well, what else would it be?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A lively discussion has already broken out in comments about the announcement<\/a>, causing me to seek a bit of clarification. I have no urge to return to my roots if we’re talking the insipid lagers available when I first met “quarter pitcher night.”<\/p>\n

Or even, for instance, Warsteiner. (I used a wonderful quote from Josef Schneider of the Josef Schneider brewery in Essing, Germany, about Warsteiner in a story I wrote for All About Beer<\/a> magazine. I will pass it along once the article is in print.)<\/p>\n

So I asked about Czech pale lagers (you might call them pilsners, but the Czechs don’t unless they are from Pilsen) and received approval, for a simple reason, because they are “taken-for-granted, this-is-what-beer-means-here.”<\/p>\n

I don’t even know if I’ll be able to post for the March 6 Session (I think we’ll be in Virginia; almost close enough to Philadelphia to consider checking out what looks like an insane Philly Beer Week <\/a>) and I certainly don’t know what I’ll be writing about. But when that roundup is posted I’m sure I will be clicking on every single link.<\/p>\n
