A Brotzeit Beer-kada Christmas!

written by Gail Sotelo December 14, 2022

Some of the best Christmas memories are made with your barkada, good food, and a drink (or 12… #truestory).

As a five-year southie who’s too lazy to venture northward (and get out of our uniform shorts and birks), the news that Brotzeit opened a branch in Alabang West Parade is nothing short of a great Christmas present. After all, it’s one of my favorite watering holes where I can enjoy a proper pint and sinfully delicious food.

Even better news: They’ve got an amazing fare available for the holidays.

I mean…

While the food alone is enough to whet anyone’s appetite, the drink recommendations are spot on, complete with reduced prices for beer before 6pm for day drinkers.

Now they’ve got a myriad of different yummy drinks, so here are a few recommendations:

Radler

In German, “radler” means cyclist… and (excuse me while I attempt to make my German ancestors and friends proud) “Erfischungsgetränk aus Bier und Limonade,” meaning beer with lemon soda*. Legend has it that a group of cyclists ended up in the Kugler-Arm Gasthof in Bavaria during one particularly hot day in 1922 but found out there wasn’t enough beer for everybody. The owner Franz Xaver Kugler decided to create a drink with half of a dark beer and half of a lemon soda. The result was a refreshing, slightly sweet, low-alcohol drink (read: more drinks for everybody).

Weihenstephaner Tradition Bayrich Dunkel

Not that my Christmas is bitter… but give me bitter beer any time. A beautiful dark beer, it’s got rich flavors and is extremely aromatic. While the Radler is an easy-drinking beverage, I find that the Weihenstephaner Tradition Bayrich Dunkel a thinking beer. It can also pair well with incredibly rich, deep-fried meats (such as Brotzeit’s Christmas offerings… Loved it especially with the Speck Slab).

Hot Chocolate

Just in case one has had a fill of alcohol (i.e., me), this is a delicious alternative. It also works as a dessert, something to pair with the equally divine Apfel Krapfen, or something to enjoy during the festive and chillier December days. I would recommend enjoying this in Brotzeit Alabang’s veranda. After all, we southies have some of the best air in Metro Manila.

From all of my favorite KTG folks, Happy Holidays!


*limonade also translates to lemonade but can also be used to pertain to lemon soda, such as the popular Sprite or 7-Up
