Reception

The journalist Annette Ramelsberger designated 2011 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the work of Biermösl Blosn as a " thorn in the flesh of the authorities, the anarchic spirit of the people" and the musical " expropriation of the concept of home through the CSU step by step, song by song ." She had " the caricature of the yodel Bavaria replaced by razor sharp wit and intelligent malice ," which was a great achievement for this group. As the old enemy now " crumbles " were, it would now be " logically that the Biermösl Blosn separates " because they "won" would. She had " played against Wacker village, against the irresponsible at Bayerische Landesbank and against those responsible in the government " and was " for years effective opposition."

" We can say, therefore, "Mission Accomplished. "
