You should find Aventinus in the Bierhaus or Abbot's.

Yep Abbots Ale House on Devonshire st should have it. Both a pub and an off-licence so it'll cover both for you.

Hate the way they've rebranded. I'd skip over this on the shelf cos I'd be looking for the purple label. Literally just poured my last bottle from the case I bought last xmas
Gorgeous beer. Hope they've not changed it, there's been questions of the new packaging also having different taste, at least in the "Normal" Schneider Weiss

I was just about to say that I didn't think the Abbot's Ale House had it for a while, but it could be that I've missed it for that reason. Aventinus Eisbock (can be almost too much) still looks like it used to though:

:rolleyes: Is it that simple to freeze beer and remove some ice-water to concentrate strength & flavour I wonder - might be worth a try with other beers...

Bottle sometimes breaks, happened a few times when I left beer in the freezer and forgot about it.

Yeah, it would, as the ice expands; you'd have to open/remove it first to a plastic container, then after it freezes remove some of the ice, then allow it to warm up a little, pour, stir gently & enjoy! Well, it works for Aventinus :rolleyes:

Though it counts as distilling and is illegal without a licence. Just saying...

We used to distill alcohol in school for science experiments. I should have ratted on Ms. Murphy

Does the law actually specify freezing ?

No, I don't think the law touches on the mechanics of distilling at all.
