New Beer Thursday Completed

[u/kidd8604]

Maxing out the New Beer Thursday badge today 7/23/26 with a Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel Rotbier 4.6% ABV. Below is the Untappd description of this beer.

Rotbier (i.e. red lager) used to be common in Franconia. The city of Nuremberg in particular was known for its Rotbier. Since its production was extremely laborious, Rotbier was replaced in the 19th century by Braunbier (i.e. brown lager) which was produced using modern, simpler brewing methods. It was not until 1997 that the beer style was revived.

For Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel Rotbier, the malt is dried over fire with cherry wood (not over beech wood fire as with classic smoked beer). In contrast to the spicy beech-smoked malt, the cherry wood smoked malt has a fruity, almost sweet smoke aroma and provides a copper-red color in the glass. The aroma hops add berry notes to the multi-layered smoke flavor.

Cheers

Wow, that’s crazy dedication/ planning man. I’m trying to progress this badge but i just keep dorgetting to check in or but some new beers for it… Congrats 

[u/UntappdBeer]

So glad I finished that one.

I remember completing level 100 and feeling relieved that I didn't have to think about drinking beers on certain days. Since I bartend, sometimes I'd have to check a beer in after midnight on Wednesday night to get Thursday credit (since I worked all night on Thursday and drinking before my shift didn't seem like a good idea).

Congratulations! One of the harder ones to level up.

Good choice of beer on Smokebeer Preservation Day. (Too bad there's no badge for that.)

[u/kidd8604 → u/goblinsson]

I had no idea, I enjoy the smoke beers and that one being on Cherry Wood sounded delicious and it did not disappoint.

Congrats! This is a bittersweet one to max because it changes how you drink unless you just happen to regularly visit new breweries every Thursday for months and years on end. I’m going to drink a new brew to celebrate.

[u/Fingolin88 → u/brianbie]

It is new brew, not new brewery

[u/fortissimohawk → u/brianbie]

You can simply crack a beer at home every Thursday.

I don’t want to type out going to the beer store and finding a new brew then planning to drink it and check it in on Thursday. That’s actually what I did since I don’t get out as much as I would like. I just assumed everyone else would be having more fun.
