I wasn't impressed. After a few days in the beery heaven of Prague, Dresden was more like a wasteland. The city centre didn't seem to have any pubs. In depseration, me and Matt jumped onto tram in search of somewhere for a beer. Eventually we spotted a building with "Gaststätte" on it. We quickly jumped off and were rewarded with draught beer.
I wasn't that impressed with the city, either. A cityscape with all the grace and charm of past-war Birmingham.
Not sure about Feldschlösschen's logo. Don't think you could use that today.
The dubious-looking mascot is something to do with sealing the insides of the barrels with pitch apparently, and still visible on their website even if it is in the 'history' section: http://www.feldschloesschen.de/en/company/pichmaennel/
ReplyDeleteRegarding questionable labels (and names). Are you familiar with Mohren Brauerei Voralberg (Austria)?
ReplyDeleteActually,
ReplyDeleteyou will still find labels like the Feldschlössen ones in bavaria and austria, and those beers/breweries even have names that match the label...:

What's wrong advertising with an underaged alcoholic (Pichel Männel)?
