Today's advent calendar beer is Bürgerliches Brauhaus Altbairisch Hell. It's another damn long name, and I don't know about you, but I read the first word as "burger-licious." This is a really good helles. It has more flavor and less bitterness than the other helleses that the beer advent calendar has offered thus far. It's brewed by Herrnbräu, which is located in the Bavarian burg of Ingolstadt, about 50 miles north of Munich. Ingolstadt has a pretty amazing history. Among other things, it's where Frankenstein is set, it's where the Illuminati was founded, it's home to Audi and Airbus, and most importantly and most apropos, it's where William IV, Duke of Bavaria, wrote and signed the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot into law in 1516.
