Let me bring you biers from the wood...

Despite some people thinking that you would be interested in what was happening in Clydebank, the real holiday was continuing in Germany.

Regular readers might have noticed that, as a group, we seem to be incapable of staying in any one place for long. In this spirit, myself and Dr Stan decided to spend the one day that we had between arriving in Köln and moving on to Hilpolttstein by travelling through to Düsseldorf…

On arriving, Dr Stan suggested going for a Gulasch. This involved a tram ride to the Alter Bahnhof. You can imagine my surprise when presented with a glass of Gulasch Bräu - brewed in a microbrewery in the premises!

A short bus ride from there took us to the Bräuhaus Joh. Albrecht, another microbrewery. Here, we came upon the bargain of the day - all you could eat spare ribs (their Thursday special offer). Neither of us had any complaints!

Havng disposed of a fair quantity of ribs, we took our leave and travelled back into the Altstad. Füchschen and Urige were sampled extensively before ending the evening in Schumachers.

Then back to Köln. Hilpoltstein tomorrow!

  1. How was the Gulasch-Bräu? It looks rather soupy.

  2. It wasn't too bad - quite light, but some hops in evidence. It was neither meaty or spicy though!
