The Boss is always more adventurous than me in picking up untried beer from the grocery store. She bought a few cans of this the other day. I'm not a lager person, but it's tolerable enough. Is this the Pabst of Merkelania?

There's a good documentary film about them, maybe made about 10 years ago.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑07 Mar 2025, 11:54amhttps://www.ultimate-guitar.com/article ... any-176456
I'd heard of the Monks but (a) I didn't know the band was made up of Americans and (b) I didn't they'd given themselves monk haircuts. Pure German whimsy!
One of the members is/was the mayor of a town in northern Minnesota.
ETA: It was Gary Burger, singer/guitarist, and according to Wikipedia, the town was Turtle River, and he died of pancreatic cancer on March 14, 2014, at the age of 71.
