February 2007 Archives

I've been a little lazy of late with photos of bier. But I promise to pick things up over the next few weeks, especially with my upcoming trips to Switzerland, Ireland and the Adriatic region. So keep an eye out.

The above photo was taken in December 2006 at the Löwenbräu Keller in the The Rocks, Sydney.

The Löwenbräu Keller is a localised offshoot of the local München brewery.

I was out on Friday in Bockenheim having a few biers. The pub we ended up in seemed, whist being quite dodgy had a pretty cool air to it. They also had a Weiss bier that I'd never tried, a
Tucher Wiess, which wasn't all that good when compared to other Bavarian biers.

So in my new rating scheme, I give it a 2 out of 5:

Rama V is probably the best Thai restaurant in Frankfurt. I was dining there on Dienstag when I took this picture of a Schneider Weiss Dunkle.

I must say that I am a particular fan of the Dunkle Weiss bier. There just seems to be a little more earthy textures to it. Most places in Frankfurt seem to serve Schöfferhofer as thier weiss bier, so it was a welcome change to have the Schneider Weiss, which mind you is a very good bier.

I spent Samstag in this funky little Irish bar in Sachsenhausen. It is actually a converted WWII bomb shelter, which was great but for one thing, smoke. In Germany smoking is permitted pretty much everywhere. Being that it was underground this bar was completely smoked in. Coupled with the low-light situation it was hard to get the above shot.

But on the bier front, I had 5 or so hefeweizens (not sure what brand though). A cloudy bier for a cloudy environment.

On another note, Bier Adventures is about to move into a new era, so keep an eye for the changes.
