Tom, Luis and Jim enjoying a Keesmann Bock
Travis and Sam with a Herren Pils and Bock, respectivelyWhen then crossed the street to Mahrs Bräu and had a few warm up Helles before they tapped the bock. The place gets very crowded so we went early to get a place in the Schwemme (hallway).
The gang in the Schwemme at Mahrs.When the bock came, the first barrel was very over-carbonated and it was about 10 minutes before beers could be poured. It too was a pale bock, not as hoppy as the Keesmann but very drinkable.
After a couple of bocks, the place got really crowded so we walked back to the old town and had dinner and beers at Klosterbräu. The Braubier was on -- that is, it was good. It occasionally has a bit of a soapy taste that is not enjoyable, but tonight it was perfect.
Satuday is a visit to Cafe Abseits.
Herren-Pils is one of the finest pilsners Germany has to offer. It's just perfect.
ReplyDeletei have sat at that very table in the first pic lol
ReplyDeleteI was also at Mahr's at the same time on Saturday with my friends (excellent brewery with amazing beers). Before that we were enjoying the UrBock at Schlenkerla - amazing as well! On Friday we were at Klosterbrau, Spezial and Keesman.
