Deus,

See if you can visit Andechs monastery brewery in Bavaria - outstanding stuff!

Another gem is Domhof brewery and biergarten in Speyer Germany.
:good!:

It was delicious. Doppelbock Dunkel. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Think I may have another in the fridge. The cool thing about over here is that the little mom & pop "getrankeschaft" I go to to get beer brings in beers from all over Germany.

You must live off base, smart move and great way to experience the culture better. Were you able to enjoy all the Winter and Christmas (Fest) biers? I'm sure they're all done till December. The Getränke Ladens used to let us create our own mixed cases. You should start to see the Mai and Bock biers starting up soon.

They used to have tour packages of Bavaria that often visited several monastery breweries. Might be worth looking into.

Enjoy - I'm jealous!! We did Germany last summer, won't go again until next summer 2014.

Isn't it sold out?

Yes, Matt's events uaually sell out within 15 minutes. Set your alarms.

Although, I never knew anyone that had trouble getting them at the gate from sellers whose friends/family couldn't make it. Hell, I burned 2 tickets to the 12 south winter warmer because my ahole brother got drunk the night before and we couldn't get to the event soon enough. No one was there to buy tickets any more and it cost me more than a $100.

I'll be there as part of the set up.

Wish I would have been smart enough to get a ticket to the Mystery Beer Dinner at City House tomorrow, but alas, I procrastinated.

We may try that. I got a friend coming up from Louisiana. We're going to boil crawfish either Fri or Sat. If we do it Fri we may see if we can score some tickets. Thanks

Maybe we can actually meet up. When are you coming in for it?

Nice, I know exactly where that is. I think Nashville could be a nice craft brew city if they get the tax thing fixed. What do you think, could Nashville become the Portland or Denver of the South one day?

I absolutely think it can, right size IMO. We are scrambling to catch up with Asheville, but their size will limit them, certainly not their fervor. I wish someone would really fix the requirement of a distiller's license to brew high gravity beers. That's what TN is missing IMO. No real way to make DIPAs, Barleywines, RIS, etc. That's where the giants in craft beer distinguish themselves, with the exception of sours and a few others.

I agree, it seems odd I can brew a high gravity beer at home but a brewery must have a distillers license and distilling is not involved.
