I went to the German Club of Brisbane the other week with some good buggers, we drank some brilliant beer while our wives had a meal in the dinning area. Very good, simple, well cooked food. I had a pigs knuckle, which you can see above. It tasted a lot like a lamb shank but with heaps more crusty fat. Once you pushed the crust off, there was some beautifully slow cooked meat and the potatoes were great.We drank (tried) many different beers this nigh, all on tap! Erdinger, Schneider, Fischers and Franziskarner Dunkel. The last of these (FD) left the biggest impact, just the right amount of caramel and burt butterscotch and a genuinely driving, Vegemite taste. Real warm molasses with a good dry finish.
Love the German Club. Membership is only $5.00

We go to the German Club almost every week - and not just because I have German heritage! It's the only place you'll find a certain range of German beers in town, and the food is good and CHEAP!
Next time you're there, make sure you try the Weihenstephaner Dunkel and the Maissel's Weisse - two outstanding wheat beers, probably my favourite examples of the variety in the world. And if you're adventurous, try the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier!
