Beer Review: Eindhoven Special Reserve Dutch Lager
It’s also from Holland. Isn’t that veird? But since it said “Dutch Lager” on the label I was momentarily confused. I had just finished a lager from Holland – Bavaria Holland. Now I had a Dutch lager. Variety is the spice of life. Then I remembered the Dutch are from Holland. Sure enough, it is imported from Holland. That has always confused me. Couldn’t they have just been the Dutch from Dutchland, or the Hollanders from Holland? Anyway, this stuff is actually brewed in the Netherlands, and who knows what those people are called. I certainly don’t.
This beer tastes exactly like Bavaria Holland, so much so that I got a Bavaria Holland bottle out of recycling to compare. The shoulders are a little higher, so not identical, but very close. Same green glass. Same great taste.
Eindhoven Special Reserve Dutch Lager Factoids:
- Imported by Logret Import and Export Company, City of Industry, CA, U.S.A.
- Brewed at the Eindhoven Bierbrouwerij, Shinnen, The Netherlands
- Imported from Holland (lie?)
- Professed to be brewed in the great Dutch tradition, using only natural ingredients.
- It is on sale at Safeway for $5.99 per sixpack.
- It has a little label on the neck that is affixed to the bottlecap, giving it the appearance of being tamper-proof.
- It’s delicious and you should buy some.
I am told that Holland is kinda the same thing as The Netherlands, so guessing people from the Netherlands are also Dutch.
I just purchased your special reserve dutch lager but the only thing that I find weird is that you dont have a alcohol percentage on it I like to know how much alcohol is in the beer so I know I am getting my monies worth and to know that I am not getting a weak beer I love my imported beer so please let me know so Iam not drinking a weak lager.
