Well, we ordered 1/2 doz of escargot, a lamb shank (though I do not really like lamb, but the taste is still acceptable, I just had a tiny portion while my friend finished it all), a salmon salad, a small slice of their signature tiramisu, and of course, I did not forget to try out some beers.
Too bad I forgot to bring my camera, so no chance to take any pictures. I did take with my mobile but the photo quality is too poor and dark, I would rather not to post it here. Haiz. But never mind, just leave it to next visit.
However, as I promise to my cousin sister that I will bring her there for her birthday, just got some pictures of the restuarant to show her. (^_^)
Alright, my main topic today is not about the restuarant actually. It is about the BEER I had last night. Though it might be just a normal beer for some people, but trust me, it was the first time in my life to try out this beer. No doubt that was a little too late. But I believe that great beer will never be late as long as it did come into my life. Haha!
You know, I'm so in love with Warsteiner! The beer is so smooth and much much more better than belgium beer. The beer tastes as good as kilkenny, but yet, I would say, it has successfully replaced the placing of Kilkenny in my heart. I am afraid that I could not describe how the taste for me. Well, it is not bitter at all, but yet you still able to enjoy the taste of wheat beer and leading ahead as a high quality draught beer. A great beer with the amazing wheat taste when you swallow it. And this time, I do not feel like swallow all because the taste is too tempting.
Hmm...I feel like having myself another few more pint now!
Of course, Warsteiner is more expensive, it costs about RM21/pint. Which is about double of the price of Kilkenny or Heineiken and close to Hoegaarden.

The History
From regional beers to the top pilsner-style beer with an international reputation - the story of Warsteiner beer was and is still being written by the Cramer family in Warstein. The name Cramer family began making brewing history in 1753, when the farmer Antonius Cramer first had to pay a beer tax of one reichstaler and 19 florins for his self-brewed and marketed beer. His son Johannes Vitus followed in his footsteps and continued serving self-brewed beer in his residence in the heart of Warstein. His business profited from its central location. But in 1802 a devastating fire reduced the town of Warstein to rubble - the house of the Cramers also fell victim to the flames. The family rebuilt their house both as guest lodging and home brewery, and when St. Pancratius Church was built, it became the center of town. This original house of the Warsteiner Brewery, the Domsch䮫e, is still standing today in the historic center of the city of Warstein.
By building his brewery, Johannes Vitus Cramer created the basis for a thriving family business. Management of the Warsteiner Brewery was and is still passed on from one generation to the next - it has remained in family hands since 1753. The sons of Johannes Vitus, Albert und August, took over control of the brewery in 1823. They also pushed to operate the Warsteiner Brewery in a more professional manner. Albert and August acquired knowledge of the latest advances in chemistry and brewing technology at the brewer school in Worms and put it to work in expanding the brewery. In 1898 the brothers purchased a steam engine and had the Warsteiner Brewery entered in the register of companies at the Warstein district court.
Today, more than 250 years after the brewery was founded, the tranquil town of Warstein in the heart of the Sauerland region is the home of a great beer that people drink all over the world. It's possible to drink Warsteiner Premium Verum in more than 60 different countries world-wide. The Cramer family has succeeded in turning a regional beer into a top pilsner-style beer known throughout the world. The tradition continues: Since 2006, Catharina Cramer, the youngest daughter of brewery owner Albert Cramer, has assumed responsibility on the management board of the Warsteiner Group. As the first woman in the company's history, she now guides the fortunes of the premium product together with her father and the managing directors Peter Himmelsbach and Stephan Fahrig.
