Nope, but I might take a trip out to Regensburg next time I’m in Bavaria, but to be honest, there is still so much to do around Bamberg that I tend to do those first.


Ah, Bamberg (and you think the Altstadt is commercialised). First went after watching the late great Michael Jackson in his Channel Four ’Beer Hunter’ series (still have the booklet that went with the shows), in fact I just got it out to have another look at it.

Not been for a long time now: the last time when I led a CAMRA based trip to Munich for the O’Fest and Northern Franconia. I’ve calmed down my drinking since then!

I fancy an Annafest and Bamberg trip one day, must log that in my ever growing ’bucket list’.

If you must: but what if Theis rates 10 at the same time: I would try for 33, just incase he has a few!

Right onto the crap French stuff

I picked up about 16 of these Sornin beers last time I was in Calais. And they’ve all been rubbish. 5 more in the fridge.

Right time for a meal break. I need to prepare dinner (salmon salad with onion bhaji croutons). Which will be accompanied by Ashford Artisan Ales Take It Easy Pale Ale, brewed by my own fair hand.
Unsurprisingly it’s a pale ale.

As I drink my Winter-Traum I am eating cold new spuds, strong Cheddar and handfuls of Crawfords Cheese Savouries: luxury!

Onto the baseball now. I am 3 weeks behind on mlb.tv so it’s 4th of July in my house this evening with my Buster Posey shirt on.
Oh and the homebrew is almost there. Just needs a bit more dry hopping next time I brew it. Amarillo tangerine flavour.

Just had beef stew with dauphinoise potatoes. Spezial rauch now. Gently beech smoked on the nose.

The border between Poland and Germany has been an issue for many, many years: I prefer German beers to be honest, but I’ve only had mass produced Polish stuff so it is really unfair to compare those to some of the lovely brews I’ve had in Germany.

I have a can of Zywiec Bock on a shelf, otherwise no Polish beers currently in my stash.
