There are a few seasonals such as Egger's or some brewpubs' (Altes Tramdépôt in Berne has produced one a few years back, IIRC).<BR/>Shows how unimaginative brewers in that part of the country are... mind you, up to the late 70s, unfiltered beer was illegal (protectionist measure indeed), and Weizen still is considered with suspicion by many swiss-german drinkers.<BR/>I guess this can be traced back to the days of the swiss beer cartel (1936-1991), during which, among other things only a handful of beer styles (pale lager, dark lager, spezial, and strong lager) were allowed to cartel members, thatis vitually every brewery in the country (notable exceptions being Boxer and Fischerstube)...<BR/><BR/>Cheers !<BR/><BR/>LaurentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-53097695366553243902009-01-09T13:10:00.000+00:002009-01-09T13:10:00.000+00:00I really like the Bier Paul branding and packaging...I really like the Bier Paul branding and packaging, although, having had a look at the website, they could probably do to colour code as well as numbering.
