Bassd Scho

Anyone who loves beer knows that the autumn in Franconia is Bock Bier Season! One of the world’s great beer traditions is the Bockbieranstich (“tapping of the Bock Bier Keg”) hosted throughout the season at each of the breweries in and around Bamberg.

And anyone who has had the good fortune to have spent time in Franconia (like our founder Brian whose first time living in Germany was in Bamberg) knows that the most useful phrase in the Franconian dialect is “Bassd Scho.” While the words are the same as the Standard German “Passt Schon” (english: “it’s fine”), the actual meaning in Franconia can be different in a range of scenarios and is always understood by locals based on the context.

In particular, when describing food or drink, “bassd scho” is the highest praise amongst a people who don’t often dish out extreme compliments.

To celebrate Franconia and its amazing beer traditions, all of us at Bräugier (and especially Brian) are extremely excited to release our very first Bock Bier. Our traditional bock, lagered for 8 weeks in the tank, finished at 7.0% with a beautiful reddish copper color. So if anyone asks you how you like it, there’s can only be one answer: “bassd scho”
