I was on my third glass of Fruh--you can tell by the tick marks left on the beer mat.
German beer halls are just vast. This is Gaffel.
If you ever go to Cologne, ascend the stairs at the Dom. Spectacular.

Sunday in Pictures: Cologne
Today's picture dump includes a few choice shots from the lovely city of Koln/Cologne. Enjoy--
Many breweries keep a "library" of recent releases so they can track their beer and refer back to a particular shipment in case of complaints. This is Reissdorf's.
In Cologne, waiters carry trays around and replenish empties. This works when 90+ percent of your beer (or all of it) is a single type. Not recommended for a place like Apex.
They're called "stange" glasses, and every brewery has their own version--but they're always 2cl. (At a euro eighty a pop, you can really tear through your budget with these little guys.)

How'd you find the smoking in those savage lands outside Bavaria? Been a few years since I've been up that way, not sure what the situation's like any more.
ReplyDeleteBeervana is the best!! I can't wait to go back. Just doing some initial research. Here's another pretty good one if anyone is looking.

Nick, I heard you might find smoking in Berlin, but I didn't see it anywhere I traveled. (Though outside Bavaria that was just Dusseldorf and Cologne.)
