Overview
A tight one to call, as both are an excellent brew. 1664 is found everywhere, and is in fact the original "wife-beater" pre dating Stella by a good couple of years. Not found on draught as often as it once was, although if memory serves, @spoons still do it, and a super chilled variety (which I try to avoid, all those chemicals cannot be healthy). Dortmunder Actien Brauerei, or DAB as it says on the tin, is not so readily available. They used to big bottles of it in Morrisons, but since the influx of Eatern Europeans, it has been muscled off the shelves in favour of Polish/Slovakian/Bulgarian lagers, which is a shame as it is one of my favourites. Oddbins do it in cans, but as you all know, beer tastes much better out of a bottle.
Odds
It is a shame these two were drawn together, as both would have graced the quarter finals as worthy choices, but as the Highlander said, "There can be only one." My suspicion is the more widely available French beer will prevail, although I will be campaigning hard to see the pride of Dortmund win.
