Well if you are upset with mixed beer and alcohol content... you can always go get the world famous strongest here in the world... Samichlaus Bier from Austria with a 14% alcohol content *cheers*
Born and bred mate. Lived in Brussels for three years and know the Belgian beers. Used to drink Leffe quite often and it iis fine. Duvel another one with high alcohol content.
A word in his defence. Geneva does NOT have a "local beer" but has its local wine which is the Gamay de Genève and only too often, the Panaché beers are just in the same place as the real beers. And for beer I might mention the Kronenbourg from Strassburg which IS good and in fact is avaiable throughout France
Heard about this, but never had it. Whatever, Wines in Geneva are cheaper and better than overhere. Geneva generally is more expensive than Zürich, but the wines are cheaper and better
yes, why the complaint about Panache, when you were expecting Feldschlossen gnat's piss? Back in oz do you drink XXXX and Fosters? Per AnAustralian's notes Schutzengarten and Ittinger are much better, and then there are quite a few micro-breweries that do decent brews.
PS. You can see the feldschosslen brewery from the train between Basel and Zurich - curiously distinctive building.
It's not from Austria, it's from Zurich (Hurlimann), but it is now brewed in Austria since Fledschlosschen sold of the rights after closing down Hurlimann after they bought it.
To the west, on a hill outside the city is Feldschlösschen, the seat of the Feldschlösschen Getränke AG and still a brewery. Built from 1882, the factory buildings are in the style of a medieval castle. The elegant art-deco-style brewery is well worth a visit. Beer is still delivered to the surrounding area in old traditional style, with Switzerland’s only six-span of Belgian dray horses.
There are seven sites in Rheinfelden that are listed as Swiss heritage sites of national significance. Two religious buildings are on the list, the Christian Catholic collegiate church of St. Martin and the Johanniter Chapel at Johannitergasse 70. Three fortifications are on the list; the Heimenholz and the Pferrichgraben which were both part of the old Roman era Rhine fortications and the entire medieval city wall. The last two buildings on the list are the Feldschlösschen brewery at Feldschlösschenstrasse 34 and the former Gasthof (combination hotel and restaurant) zum goldenen Adler at Obertorplatz 4. The entire old town of Rheinfelden is designated as part of the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites.
