German bar/restaurant with entertainment - Alcudia

A couple of years ago we went to Alcudia and stopped at the sea club.

Not far from there was a german bar/restaurant that had groups on and huge kebabs cooking on spits near the pavement.

My husband fell in love with their Weisen beir or white beer. The best he's ever had apparently - mind you I had a few myself - yum!

It was served in a bottle and poured into huge tall glasses!

Does anybody know what I'm on about?

If anyone is going could they find out the name of the beer please - walked the streets of Cala D'or last year trying to remember the name!

Any info would be great!!!

It's not that Kronenbourg White beer is it? I know you said Germans were drinking it, and it being a French beer, but maybe they have a similar type beer.

When I tried it (Kronenbourg White), it tasted like lager with a hint of lemon or some other citrus fruit. Disgusting in my opinion...always been a lager drinker and nothing else!

If no joy from this site, then look out for local beer festivals - I'm fairly sure you'll come across something similar, if not the very one, at one of those events.

Hello again.

It didn't happen to be a beer called Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier by any chance? Apparently a top German white beer...

Definately not Kronenburg!

It was really nice - opaque in appearance - will try that one - are slowly going through them all - I bring them home from shopping and hubby says that's not it by the label on bottle! But trys them anyway! Nothing up to the standard as yet!

Thanks for the help - know of any stockists in uk?

If it's of any use. I used to live in Bavaria which is the heartland of WeissBier. The top brand, and one you get in Alcudia some times, is Erdinger.

Was it bottled or draft?

Some hotels in Alcudia serve 'Franziskaner', and they deliver a lot in Alcudia area. It could be this...it has a picture of a monk on the label.

signed, the beer geek.

Was in a Brown bottle! Beautiful! Only found it in the german bar - thanks

brown bottle?

as before, Franziskaner is on brown bottle (with the monk picture).

My favourite one available in UK is Schneider Weisse, also brown bottle, with white label containing blue writing and picture of the brewery on it.

Both verrrry nice :lol:

(especially Shneider Weisse) and available in Asda etc.

Should go into web beer shop such as beersofeurope.co.uk or beerritz.co.uk and search German beers--you will probably recognise it there, as pictures available.

:wink:

Have tried the weistephaner - very nice - trying the Erdinger tonight!

Husband says it had a yellow label!

We shall continue to sample the german weiss beer!

Could perhaps be Leffe or even Hoegaarten which are belgian beers. I think they both have yellow labels and are cloudy white beers, with a citrus aftertaste!

Best Regards - Taggy
