Thursday, September 30, 2010. So, let’s back up a moment… I left Zum Sternla. Someone was either smoking malt or mashing rauchbier! Same thing happened the next morning. I walked through different neigbourhoods and along different streets, but every now and then it was the mashing of malt that I smelt, sometimes smoky, sometimes not. This is the quintessential aroma of Bamberg! And what a lovely smell it is! So, with this in mind I made my way to the Schenklanker. Up on Kaulberg Hill. Bamberg is buil...

Friday, October 8, 2010. Trains, Trams and Automobiles Part 2: Beer Hunting in Prague. Crammed into the front bench seat of a small delivery van, three of us left Brno in the dark and rain, rolling into a warmer and dry Prague about two hours later. It was a bit of a bumpy ride, as Czech highways don’t seem to be the most well kept. I was left at Libeň Novoměstský Pivova. R as Lukáš headed to school for the day and Cipis went to drop off and pick up kegs. Novoměstský. With pinkish hues in the head and a ...

Tuesday, September 21, 2010. In the Austrian Alps. Is located at 1771 meters above sea level, and provides a cozy resting place for day trips or overnight stays. The cuisine is traditional Austrian fare and the beer is refreshing. After our 5 hour hike, the last 2 kilometers being quite steep, it was an absolute pleasure to sit down to a tall glass of Franziskaner Weissbier. On tap (see Beer of the Day. Sept 17). It was the best beer ever! That day. They also have a very tasty Gösser Dunkel. Well, at tha...

Friday, September 24, 2010. Austrian Beers and Innsbruck Bars. Despite the overwhelming dominance of the big breweries in the Austrian market place, and a slew of German products also available, one can still find some unique beers in Innsbruck’s supermarkets. One of the more interesting finds is MacQueen’s Nessie. Subtitled ‘Whisky Malt Red Beer’ (see Beer of the Day. Sept 15). From the Schlossbrauerei Eggenberg. Makes is the very malty and fantastic Urbock 23°. Very dry with an intense earthy quality a...

Saturday, October 9, 2010. Trains, Trams and Automobiles Part 3: The Continuing Search for the Elusive Czech Pilsner in Hradec Kralove and Dvur Kralove nad Labem. This is where the real Czech cuisine can be found, in the homes of people who love to cook. Our tour of the local Tambor. Brewery had to be put off for one day, so we made the best of it, me catching up on my notes and Lukáš catching up on sleep. Our first stop, we had to send back the Herold Dark Lager. We headed next to a Ferdinand Brewery.

Sunday, September 5, 2010. Saturday Beer Bar Crawl. Saturday turned into an amazing day. It started out with a short walk to one of the last traditional gueuze makers in Belgium - Cantillon. Family owned since its inception in 1900. They offer a self guided tour of their unique facility, from mash tun to barrels to bottles, at the end of which guests are offered two tastes of their amazing products. Here we met two more Canadians, both in town for the beer festival - Cheri. In Toronto and Gisele. From It...

Sunday, September 12, 2010. Maastrict has a rich and storied history, this corner of Europe where Belgium, Germany and Holland meet. It’s also a great fusion pot of mixing cultures, cuisines and beer. Not long out of the Gare and just over the walking bridge on the left up Stationstraat and you find Café ‘t Potuiske. A 75% blonde special. Beautiful gold colour, pure white head, very light on the palate, well balanced, some hop nose, mildly bitter with a long dry finish. Very tasty! Was not sour at all, b...
