I grew up in Sandusky, MI in the “Thumb” area about 1.5hrs north of Detroit. My brother still lives in the area and I also have other family in the area (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.). We have a place in Port Austin, MI (about […]

We spent our last night in Europe in Wiesbaden and had a Belgian beer tasting dinner with our friend Phillipp. We had scalloped potatoes and salad for dinner and sampled several Belgian beers. Interesting spot that had a great selection of Belgian beers. There is also a deli/pastry Petit Belge right next door. If you […]
Brewery Fassla was our last stop for the day and was very close to our hotel, the Best Western Bamberg. We had a couple beers in their courtyard. Not as nice as the other beer gardens we visited but still worthwhile to visit and have a couple of beers especially if you are staying at […]
The Wilde Rose Keller is right next to the Spezial-Keller in Bamberg, Germany. We started at the Spezial-Keller and then walked over to the Wild Rose Keller. I think the beer garden at the Wilde Rose Keller was much nicer. We had a couple beers here and they were great especially drinking out of […]
The Spezial-Keller overlooks Bamberg. It has a very nice beer garden and we had some of the best pork I have ever had in Germany. Roasted pork shoulder with crispy skin. Food, beer and the view was great. We just drank a Pilsner but I have also had their Rauchbier at the hotel. Bamberg […]
You can’t visit Bamberg, Germany without visiting the Franconian Beer Museum. This nice museum shows lots of history of the beer making industry in Bamberg. We did a quick pass thru the museum on the way to our next brewery stop. Here is a website with more info on the museum http://www.brauereimuseum.de/en/ I also […]
This was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t expecting the size of the store and the Weyermann facilities. We just stopped in and purchased a couple of their Pilsners to drink outside. There were people getting gift baskets made with items from the store. We also purchased some candied malt which was like candied […]
I really liked this brewery. Very close to Mahr’s Brau and about 20 min walk from the Best Western Bamberg, Germany. Nice courtyard, great pilsner and you can hear the bottling line from the beer garden. We had their flagship Herren Pils which was hoppy and refreshing. We were there at lunch time […]
Bamberg is a great beer town and kind of falls under the radar for most people looking for great beer cities. I learned of this great town from a colleague in Stuttgart. We did two overnights in the area giving us one full day in Bamberg. Our first brewery stop was Mahr’s Brau which was […]
My wife actually found this for us. A beer spa in Prague. I think I have seen this before on a travel show so it was great to be able to do it ourselves. It was about 100EUR for 2 people for an hour. You get the room to yourself and you could also have […]
