Answer 2

Gose was first brewed in the early 13th century in the town of Goslar in Lower Saxony, and from which its name derives. It became so popular in Leipzig that local breweries copied the style. By the end of the 1800s, it was considered to be local to Leipzig and there were numerous Gosenschänken (gose taverns) in the city.

Plzen, in Bohemia, Czech Republic

Question 4

What city is associated with Altbier?

Answer 4

Düsseldorf, Germany

Question 5

Berliner Weisse

Answer 5

Originating obscurely (perhaps even from Hamburg) and early associated with Berlin. Within Europe, it enjoys protection as a sort of appellation controlee; Berliner Weisse can only be produced within the city limits of Berlin. That honor, however, has not saved it, and it has become a rare specialty, produced by only two full-scale commercial breweries, Berliner Kindl and Schultheiss.
