Not finished yet with my DDR talk. Clearly, it's better when I'm giving it in person. As then you get all my bad jokes.
You do, at least, get to admire some of my DDR label collection. I have, literally, hundreds of the things. I just really love the aesthetic. And they bring back back happy memories of the socialist days.
These slides are where I start running through the styles individually. Starting with the most popular type, Helles.
Various types of Pilsner were brewed. With Pilsner Spezial and Pilsator being more heavily hopped an containing better quality ingredients. Some of the Pilsators were cracking beers. For example, the one from Sternquell in Plauen whose label decorates the appropriate slide.
Dunkles is a type that I never came across in the wild. There can't have been much of it brewed. I only have a few labels for it.
