The beer was interesting but the Laphroaig really dominated. You couldn't really tell much about the original beer except it was malty.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We had been tracking some of the other trains from Würzburg to Düsseldorf -- all were delayed but there was one that was scheduled to arrive before our train -- originally by 30 minutes but its delay increased until it was about 5 minutes earlier than our train. Both trains were on the same track.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the delay was 30 minutes we thought we decided to go to the track and make a snap judgement if we thought there would be seats. But when the delay was down to 5-10 minutes we decided to wait for our train and our confirmed seats.</div><div><br /></div><div>Cue ominous music #2, Decision Point #2</div><div><br /></div><div>The earlier train came and left with lots of people getting on. Our train arrived and we boarded and found our seats. We would be 3 hours late but would still make our dinner reservation.</div><div><br /></div><div>So we broke open train beer #2.

But the customer never claimed it So it (supposedly) sat in the barrel for 20 years until they decided to bottle it and sell it exclusively in Canada in an attempt to break into the Canadian market.</div><div><br /></div><div>The twenty year thing makes some sense because if the customer paid up front the brewery couldn't just dispose of it. So after 20 years it might become "abandoned property" and the brewery could sell to to recover storage costs. I saw something similar once in Antwerp with 20 cases of Chimay that a merchant ship bought but never picked up. However British beer friends scoffed at this idea and said we were being scammed. I don't know -- if you can't believe in what is written on a beer label, what can you believe?</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, the beer was awesome, no matter it's story.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now back to the drama. Our train announcer mumbled when he made announcements and he held the microphone to close to his mouth so there was lots of distortion. I couldn't really understand the German or the English version. But I perked up after once announcement, that sounded like the train would now end it Frankfurt. Surely it wouldn't be just a sort of passing comment. But the lady across from me got quite upset and the DB App now showed all stops past Frankfurt canceled so I knew I had heard correctly.</div><div><br /></div><div>So we found ourselves standing on the plant form at Frankfurt Hbf, over an hour later than we would have been had we stayed on the local train. And the earlier train we had just about border but decided not to and just left Frankfurt, headed for Düsseldorf.</div><div><br /></div><div>Decision Point #3:</div><div><br /></div><div>We had two choices, a train that left in 30 minutes but took the old Rhine route thru Mainz, Koblenz and Bonn and took 2 and half hours. Or a train on the direct route that took a hour and forty minutes but we'd have to wait over an hour in Frankfurt. The trains scheduled arrival were about 10 minutes apart.</div><div><br /></div><div>The longer route train had only a two minute delay posted, while the later one was running about 1:30 late. We decided to take the longer route as that would probably be less popular (so more chance of seats) and it hadn't had any real delays.</div><div><br /></div><div>The train came and we managed to find seats fairly close together. Some of them technically were reserved for frequent travelers with last minute change of plans but we gambled and no one came to kick us out. We would, however, not make our dinner reservation, so I called and canceled.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once the train was pass Mainz, we broke out the last train beer. A 1999 Thomas Hardy's Ale, the last vintage brewed at the Eldridge Pope brewery before the brewery closed.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKHxKe5L0xnKzZ_v04oTIaBHa4EFjS2Sv9JSwiM8_9opklxDyDpDfELHnIyKUjDBMoWgO6oJ53NjWgu8O6eWIK-_vpK9UEvZzV4fN4eCuDCqSh-pUCJktlOTAgvhNdPzV_NqG0Y1FbFg5hTKmVjR3oemnSHo8-YAwFoKJZE3Vg9MQVLe4ZJsL1iqf/s4080/PXL_20221212_154419138.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4080" data-original-width="3072" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIKHxKe5L0xnKzZ_v04oTIaBHa4EFjS2Sv9JSwiM8_9opklxDyDpDfELHnIyKUjDBMoWgO6oJ53NjWgu8O6eWIK-_vpK9UEvZzV4fN4eCuDCqSh-pUCJktlOTAgvhNdPzV_NqG0Y1FbFg5hTKmVjR3oemnSHo8-YAwFoKJZE3Vg9MQVLe4ZJsL1iqf/w482-h640/PXL_20221212_154419138.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I have a bunch of these and the have probably reached their peak and should be drunk.

In fact, the first beers I had in Bamberg were from Klosterbräu. The Braunbier and Schwarzla were excellent and they did a killer pale bock. Starting about 10-12 years ago the quality went downhill and I used to joke it was time for my annual beer dump check, because they were (to me) not drinkable.</div><div><br /></div><div>About 3 or 4 years ago they were purchased by the local industrial brewery Kaiserdom, who upgraded the brewery and provided trained brewers. Brewery turnover was one the the problems with Klosterbräu. The beer quality has greatly improved.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some locals are concerned, though, viewing like we might when a large brewery buys a local craft brewery. Are they going to use their larger size to muscle in on the smaller breweries? It is something that bears watching,</div><div><br /></div><div>But in the meantime, the beers have improved. They have added a Rauchbier to the lineup (no matter what their marketing says, it is a new beer).

It wasn't great but it was enjoyable. The Polotmavý less so. Very buttery and kind of muddled in the finish. It took a while to finish, which is good I guess, since it passed the time.</p><p>On the way out they had a chalk board with the beers and it turns out the Polotmavý was actually supposed to be an Alt, Thinking back I raised its mental score a few points. Still way to buttery to be enjoyed but I was evaluating as a lager, not an ale. It wouldn't sell in Düsseldorf but clean up the butter and it would be a passible brewpub Alt. Sort of explains the glass as well.</p><p>We still had some time to kill so we stopped in at BeerGeek Karlín. This is a bottle shop owned by the BeerGeek bar but they have a couple of taps and usually a lambic in a bag-in-a-box.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJoyjtbmdw3NXMKGRBMCk5wF3W1KHUbEnlj_51ww6qVTPaKArLJrKrfqGG7wqrnun39BjSWVY1iFmtqpQS3Hp_91Css9KVxKlX9sxg8ptp-YQXmpfZubX-fbdrTIRzBJ20FTxhDGPt6bhi2ggz8gxxgw9N8IyHoXj4GlWY2DxPHEOn8IX3Qcp7WTFe/s2513/original_c1abc043-e55d-4bfb-b67f-b1cc91502350_PXL_20221202_133055275.MP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2513" data-original-width="1174" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJoyjtbmdw3NXMKGRBMCk5wF3W1KHUbEnlj_51ww6qVTPaKArLJrKrfqGG7wqrnun39BjSWVY1iFmtqpQS3Hp_91Css9KVxKlX9sxg8ptp-YQXmpfZubX-fbdrTIRzBJ20FTxhDGPt6bhi2ggz8gxxgw9N8IyHoXj4GlWY2DxPHEOn8IX3Qcp7WTFe/w298-h640/original_c1abc043-e55d-4bfb-b67f-b1cc91502350_PXL_20221202_133055275.MP.jpg" width="298" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I knew it was unlikely that they'd have a lager on tap.

When I sat down the tapper asked if I wanted a 12º (he knows me :). ) and I said yet. I figured he wouldn't have done that if he had problem with me setting there.

<div> </div>
<div>In the three years since I was last in Prague I have added over 30 places to my “To Do List.” Add in at least a dozen or so old favorites and that is a daunting task for my aged liver. I will try to visit as many as I can but I’m sure I’ll have to come to continue the research project.</div>
