A bit related – the discount lager breweries in Italy seem to fancy Omlaut in the names of both breweries and beers, having a German (or Austrian,/South Tyrolean) sounding name probably means quality.

A quick Google suggests it’s mainly intended for export markets

Point of sale just says “Moravka” (or at least used to). Most people we were with who didn’t know assumed (understandably) that it was Czech.

the website is pretty transparent. Is the point of sale more ambiguous?

Thanks, John. Hadn’t come across this before. It’s an interesting angle, at least, but they’re being very coy about it. Assume it’s at the ‘consumer testing’ stage or something.

Coniston make a top fermented ‘lager’ called Thurstein. I wasn’t impressed but I don’t think I’ve had a cask lager that I’ve liked.
