Phonetically it would be close to "Hawkerbroi". Pronounce the "a" like you would with the "w" following it only take the "w" out when you say it and lightly roll the "r". They are the Hacker half of Hacker-Pschorr. Great Bier. I had fun in their 'fest tent in Munich. Drank lots of it. Actually too much :-) Ob blond, ob dunkel ...auf Ihr Wohl! The type of bier in your picture is Edelhell (lit. "noble blond or bright" versus dunkel which is dark) > Hmm.. they claim Hackerbrau has been around since 1417, wonder what > they were hacking back then? :) > Good question :) I know the monks live on stark bier (strong beer) through lent. (drank lots of it as well. Black, stuff floating in it, bitter, and the best bier buzz in the world!) For 40 days it is all they consume. The stuff sustains life! Geez... I can't think of a better way to spend lent. Under these conditions I would imagine they really were hacking. (as in praying to the porcelain god) :-) :-) > kim > > -- > kimc@w8hd.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------- > [Image] -- | Rick Weldon -- WISE-Tech LLC | E-mail: rick@wisetech.com | Was ist los?
