Gänstaller Bräu – Franz Xaver smoked märzen – 6.8 out of 7
Franz Xaver smells perfect… the beer, not the dead composer. Bamberg has given the world so much. Gänstaller Bräu of Hallerndorf, Germany resides on the outskirts of Bamberg, the motherland of smokebeer, and perhaps the current home of the Holy Grail … Continue reading

Gänstaller Bräu – Affumicator smoked dopplebock – 5.2 smokestacks out of 7
It’s not bad. I have to start with that phrase because the pour was pretty cloudy with a bunch of flakes in it. I did what I could to keep those bits in the bottom of the bottle, but the … Continue reading

Aecht Schlenkerla – Helles Lagerbier (can) – 5* smokestacks
Another rendition of the famed Schlenkerla beer seen here in a can has just garnered high marks from SmokeBeerMinistry, 5 of them marks to be exact. This canned Helles (German for light in color) Lagerbier is important to note because … Continue reading
Braustelle – Freigeist Pear Abraxxxas Lichtenhainer – 4 out of 7
This review is the 5th and final part of the Freigeist Bierkultur beer reviews, where Eherenfeider, Hoppeditz, Apple, Pear, and regular Lichtenhainer, were all reviewed consecutively… Good beer, but still of the same cut of wood as the Freigeist Apple … Continue reading

Braustelle – Freigeist Abraxxxas Apple Lichtenhainer – 4 out of 7 smokestacks
Apple? Apple lichtenhainer? Well, I guess so, but I hope you weren’t expecting something comparable to a cider, because I’m not getting much apple at all. And I’m barely getting any smoke for that matter, and I just had the … Continue reading

Braustelle – Freigeist Hoppeditz – 4 out of 7
Here’s part 2 of the 5 Freigeist reviews. Hoppeditz is another beer that has the word smoke printed on the label, and was therefore rightfully delivered straight to the Ministry officials at SmokeBeerMinistry for a proper smoke rating. And while … Continue reading

Braustelle – Freigeist Ehrenfelder – 4 out of 7 (not a smokebeer)
Here’s the first installment of a 5 part series where Freigeist beers are reviewed. And this beer, Ehrenfeider, an unfiltered altbier, is oddly enough tagged in the not a smokebeer category. Why review it? Well, the description on the label states … Continue reading

Aecht Schlenkerla – Eiche 2010 – 6.5 out of 7
Here’s a big deal in our world. The Schlenkerla team has stepped up and delivered a beer pre-aged. The Oak Smoked Eiche beer was bottled and stored in the rock cellars of Schlenkerla for 5 years before releasing this to … Continue reading

Gänstaller Bräu – Smoked Imperial India Pale Ale – 5 out of 7
I opened this one up and was greeted with a very pleasant campfire smell which prompted me to say, “oooh!” This bottom fermented Smoked Imperial India Pale Ale poured nice as well and due to my personal pouring technique, the … Continue reading
Aecht Schlenkerla – Fastenbier – 7 out of 7
Schlenkerla can do no wrong in His eyes. This beer is what happens when you open the doors of your holy sanctuary to the nectar of the gods. It cannot be understated that SmokeBeerMinistry walks in stride with this marriage, … Continue reading
Braustelle – Freigeist Abraxxxas Smoked Lichtenhainer Weisse – 5 out of 7
Freigeist Abraxxxas is a lichtenhainer kind of beer, which is apparently slightly different from gratzers (both are kinds of smoked beers with high wheat content and a sour taste). Abraxxxas comes off as extremely similar, delivering the same compulsion to … Continue reading

Brauerei Göller – Göller Rauchbier – 6.2 out of 7 smokestacks
We got a good one here! Bamberg smoke punches you in the nose right off the bat. The color is the Goldilocks hue, not too light, not too dark (although the picture is a bit deceiving due to some lighting … Continue reading
Aecht Schlenkerla – Oak Smoke Eiche Dopplebock – 7 out of 7 smokestacks
Here’s the granddad smokebeer of all smokebeers. This is what I’m looking for in every beer that I drink, no matter how unlikely finding its equal may be. The smoky smells upon opening are apparent right from the start, where … Continue reading

Aecht Schlenkerla – Helles Lagerbier – 4 out of 7 smokestacks
Above is a bottle with the older label for Helles (Light) Lagerbier from Schlenkerla Brewery. This is important to note because this one may have been on a shelf for a year or two before I got a hold of … Continue reading
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier – Marzen – 7 out of 7 Smokestacks
My first sip of this was like a punch in the jaw. After which I found myself in pursuit, chasing this beer down, for the rest of my life. I understand The Marzen’s reasoning, “How dare someone with a passion … Continue reading
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier – Urbock – 7 out of 7 Smokestacks
Drink three of these and you’ll get that same feeling you’ll get when you’re out camping and you realize that sitting by the campfire has saturated your entire body with that wonderful campfire smell. No rules out here in the … Continue reading
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier – Weizen – 6 of 7 smokestacks
Without Schlenkerla, none of this would have been possible. I’m starting to tear up just thinking about them. The Ministry reviewed Schlenkerla’s Weizen at two separate gatherings and produced slightly different results. One point of disconnect seems to be that … Continue reading

Piwo Grodziskie – Grätzer Ale – 2 Smokestacks (out of 7)
Not long after I discovered smokebeers, I learned the word “rauch” (German for smoke), and then about 10 years passed before I learned the word “Grätzer.” Polish in origin, a Grätzer is a Sour Smoked Wheat Ale (see notes in spreadsheet). … Continue reading
