Making and appreciating beer is part of the heritage of many countries around the world. More than just a liquor store, TOPS at Lifestyle offers a vast selection of quality international and local beers. Here are Eamonn’s top 3 choices inspired by the Oktoberfest, Germany’s traditional beer festival!
ERDINGER WEISSBIER
This classic wheat beer, brewed in the town of Erding near Munich, Germany, blends gently spicy malt aromas with mildly bitter hops. Its secret lies in the unique Erdinger brewing yeasts, which provide the fruity notes and unmistakably fresh flavour. The “Bayerische Edelreifung” or double maturity method is a process that allows its delicious nature and aromas to fully unfold as it is poured and enjoyed from a specifically shaped weissbier glass. Every sip will leave you wanting more.
BITBURGER RADLER
The super convenient Bitburger Radler allows you to enjoy a light and aromatic ready-mixed shandy (or Radler, as it is called in Bavaria, Germany) with the signature dry and bitter taste of pilsner. Made by mixing Bitburger Premium Pilsner and sparkling lemonade with no artificial additives included, this incomparable, sparkling-fresh beverage is light and refreshing without being too sweet.
DEVILS PEAK
Devil’s Peak is a unique and award-winning family of premium, craft and cutting-edge beers that have been crafted and finely tuned to South Africa’s exciting and evolving beer culture. To ensure a constant supply of fresh beer, smaller batches are brewed more regularly. With many awards behind their name, including Beer of the Year at the 2020 South African National Beer Trophy Awards, Eamonn recommends trying their Devil’s Peak Lager for an excellent local option that will live up to its German counterparts this Oktoberfest!
Cheers!
