Blimey, I've never heard of those before. You'll have to let us know what you think about them Reaper.

Have a great day

From what I've heard, they are Styrians, but grown in Slovenia rather than Germany. I have heard reports from a commercial brewer whoi has been using them for the last year and they can be used interchangeably for Styrians just allowing for the fact that Styrians are 2% Alpha and the Bobek are 4%
