Bamberg Special Beer Tour (SB-091007)

This tour was for the Thirsty Swagman and their no-holds-barred Euro Hard 'n' Fast tour, a 10-day tour across Europe's bars and clubs.
Thought we'd give 'em a bit of much needed Beer Culture and hooked up with them to show them around Bamberg's breweries and pubs!
Where did we go then?
Can't remember actually! Just joking....we had an evening out and a Bamberg 'walkabout' picking up the main places in Bamberg and yes, we even visited the rose garden (!!??).

• Greifenklau Brauerei. The beer garden was excellent, weather just about okay to sit outside!
• Schlenkerla Tavern. After Greifenklau it was time for some serious smoked beer (German=Rauchbier)!
• St Michaelsberg. Great views from the beer garden and some great beer-Mahrs Ungespundetes (can you say that again?!).
• Klosterbräu Brauerei. Lunch and a few wets at the famous monastery brewery in Bamberg. We made it just as/before the kitchen closed at 2pm! Brewing since around 1333.
• Spezial Brauerei.
  

Cheers guys and good to meet you all!

Franconia Beer Run!

After an awesome time in southern Bavaria and the Austrian Tyrol, it was time to get back up to Franconia and return empty barrels from our August festival in Zwevegem/Belgium.
Barrels had been stored in Herr Scheubel's Sternbräu brewery in Schlüsselfeld and after loading up it was back to the windy country roads of Franconia or Franken in German!

First stop was Buttenheim and St Georgen brewery, then Hebendanz in Forchheim. Then it was onto Hofmann (Höhenschwarz), Kanone (Schnaittach) and Maisels in Bayreuth.

Final stop was Grasser brewery/Brauerei in Huppendorf, overnighting in their guesthouse and a few beers and some excellent food! Next morning after an early look around their brewery and it was onto Bamberg and Klosterbräu to return the last of the barrels, check-in and a few wets in Spezial before a much needed break for a day!

Cheers!
