LANDBIER
Pronunciation 
guide
for English-speakers:
"lunt-beer" (pronounce
the "a" and "d" in "land" like the "u"
and "t" in "but")
Definition:
Literally "country beer," Landbier is a
general term denoting a simple everyday
session or quaffing brew. As an easy-drinking beer, it is usually not
too hoppy. Its other characteristics, however, are fairly
undefined. A Landbier is usually golden-yellow, but it may also be dark;
it may be filtered like a Pils or unfiltered like a Kellerbier, and its
alcohol by volume level may range between 4.8% and 5.3%. For many breweries,
the term Landbier has more to do with branding a particular line of beer
than with brewing a beer according to a style definition. Landbiers are
made throughout Germany.
