Pannepot vs Pannepøt
As a tribute to their loyal fans in Denmark, the good men at De Struise Brouwers have made a special version of their spicy Pannepot Old Fisherman’s Ale, which is screaming up the charts as more and more people discover it. The ‘Sturdy Brewers’ have conducted a multitude of side-by-side tastings to see which version their fans prefer. In Belgium, where the beer is made, drinkers are loyal to the original, by a wide margin. In neighboring France, however, Pannepøt is the hands-down winner. Which beer will Americans choose? Well, now’s the time to find out, since we’ve just received a fresh batch of both versions.We’ll be supplementing the brewers’ research this weekend at the Belgium Comes to Cooperstown festival. We’ll have just a few bottles of each, so, if you’re lucky enough to have a ticket to the event, be sure to stop by and say hello, at, say, 3:00 or so? It won’t be there at 3:15!
