The German Club of Brisbane and Franziskarner Dunkel

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
