Never did make it out last night. The days are catching up with me. I headed to the kabap place for dinner, did a few lines on the blog and off to bed. Geoff on the other hand was not so lucky. He got roped into having quite e few beers. Sorry I missed the fun, but glad I got more sleep. Got up today and had to take care of a few details. (1) Move to another hotel. Geoff had to start work and his brewer's were staying in another hotel. The new hotel is nicer and much more expensive them the hotel we have been staying at. (2) Buy some beer to send back to the states. Our original plan was to send beer back in one of the containers that Geoff's malt company would be sending him from Bamberg. After considering the legal ramification we decided against it. So we are off to a beer store that will ship us beer in the US. We put some in our check bags for the flight, but you can only fit so much in there.
Back to our hotel to rest up and relax. There are e few brewers coming into town tonight and we need to be ready. This is when Geoff has to start working. Host the brewers and set them up.
When everyone does show-up we are off. Have to keep these guys going or they will crash from the jet lag. Off to beers at Fassla. Bullshitting, picture showing, and stories. Someone, I will blame Geoff, says " three rounds at each place then move on." I'm not sure how many place we are going to make it to. And the rounds don't include the schnapps, only the beer. We do end up making it to the third brewery. That is where we run into the Danish brewers. And then it gets really crazy. These boys can drink............a lot. This is where things started going down hill for me and as I would find out later everyone else. After I don't know how many rounds of beer, some wurst and some roasted pork( as always)I see the Utah brewers making their way to the exit from across the table. Unfortunately I am trapped on the other side between the Danish. I stayed for a few more rounds and then snuck out as fast as I could. I knew that it was then or 4 am. I could tell that they were in for a long night. Did get talked into one more at the hotel with a few more brewers, but then off to bed. In all the craziness with sneaking out of the bar with the Danish I forgot my vest along the way. It was a small price to pay.
