As I do, a post of vacation beers as
I prepare to depart SXM

Hope it’s a better speaker than…

Prost and right back at you with a Space Kitty from Parallel 49 Brewing in Vancouver (although I’m drinking it in Whistler!).

So, wrapping up a couple days in Franconia. The tally so far…6 brewers, more beers than that, and an experience that exceeded my already high expectations.

Oh…that’s disappointing. Sorry.

Now go again, but on Wednesday, for Kölsch service in Stanges served from the tray! (Or have the, IMHO, even better Dortmunder)

Meanwhile in Bolzano…

Rye pale lager anyone?

On my way to Mexico City right now. Any specific brewery/beer/bar recommendations? (Yes, I should have asked earlier.)

(Beer in United Club IAH, a Paradigm Precision IPA, for views.)

Ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wie betrunken ich war, als ich beschlossen habe, ein ganzes Buch auf Deutsch zu lesen. Ziemlich betrunken, würde ich sagen.

Schilling usually do so well, so I was disappointed this didn’t measure up to their polotmavé. That was SO GOOD.

I have seen this book. Popped into this very museum about 20 years ago between pints at the Nutshell and the Masons Arms.

A brewery’s first birthday is the only first birthday that should be celebrated at a brewery. 😉
