Had to look this one up. You must be tuning up for Otoberfest. That is an interesting cook.

Haha. Oktoberfest is nice. Haxe is good with mashed potatoes, beer sauce and sauerkraut. I put the kraut in a pan under the meat. Then the fat drips in to the pan and mix with the kraut. Delicious. I cook these on 160 Celsius for 2.5 -3 hours indirect heat. Brush with saltwater after 1 hour and then every 30 min. Turn up to 250 Celsius last 8-10 min to make the rind pop and become crisp.like this:

Where are you located? It sounds good with the mashed potato's. Oddly enough, and being mostly German, I have never much liked sauerkraut. My wife likes it as her dad used to make big batches of it in a crock. And she ended up with that old crock. And I liked the looks of that beer as well on that link.

I live in Norway. Kraut mixed with fat from the meat is good. The beer is also good. Weissbier, made from wheat. Gives a fresh, a bit fruity taste. Excellent on a warm summer day.

Didn't see you were German. You are then of course familiar with wiessbier.

I am of German ancestory, not actually from Germany. But I like lots of different kinds of beer. Over here in the states there are many small craft breweries opening up all the time. I went and met a couple of friends at one on Thursday night. What part of Norway do you live? The company I work for bought a company from Norway many years ago, and that is who I actually worked for when I hired in with them. It was a company called Kongsberg Offshore. And they were bought out by FMC. So I have worked with many Norweigians over the years.

I live just outside of Oslo, the capital. Kongsberg is a industrial conglomerate. Today they are big in automotive parts, maritime projects and highly advanced weapons. Amongst other they produce a new stealth missile for the JSF, or f-35 fighter. Here in Norway small breweries or microbreweries are also gaining popularity. Much better beer than from the larger breweries. I also brew some beer myself. It's exciting to create your personal variant which you can serve your friends.
