Bamberg Beer in Massachusetts

Well it took me awhile but I found a local beer store and a couple of pubs that carry a selection of Franconian beer. Colonial Spirits www.colonialspirits.com in Acton, Mass. had the following selection: Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen Schlenkerla Helles Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weissen Schlenkerla Urbock Mahr's Ungespundet Mahr's Bock Mahr's Pilsner Mahr's Leichtbier St. Georgen of Buttenheim Kellerbier I stocked up on most of these and complimented the store owner on his selection. I thought the Mahr's Bock beer was outstanding and I also quite enjoyed the St. Georgen Kellerbier. My wife really liked the Schlenkerla Helles and drank all 4 bottles. As a result now she is excited to visit Bamberg with me! Well of course its not as good as being there but it should help tie me over until I can return to Bamberg in May. Also located a couple of Mass. pubs that have Mahr's beer in the bottle and Spezial Rauchbier on tap. I haven't had a chance to visit them but a friend ran recon for me and confirmed that they had these beers available. He also talked to the bartender at the Moan and Dove and he said that he had visited Bamberg not long ago. http://www.dirtytruthbeerhall.com/ http://www.themoananddove.com/
