Brandenburg Gate...

...walking out to get a pre-dinner snack... Currywurst and a Hefe! Yes, I poured it too fast, shut up, YOU!

Stroll along the Tiergarten:

Holocaust memorial:

Clouds over the Atlantic:

Lots and lots and lots of contrails on the tracks:

Always construction going on in Berlin. Our hotel would have been almost bisected by the Berlin Wall:

Reminded me of a shot from the space shuttle:

No doubt. Hefeweizen foams so quick so by the time that I noticed the error in my pour, it was already too late! Rub the bridge of your nose, swirl your finger around in it a bit, the foam goes right down.

What kind of hefe was that? don't recall the label.

 

[derg]

I'm not even sure. It was tasty but I couldn't find it at the grocer.

Do you get to bring tasty beers back with you or is that prohibited?

My last trip to Brussels I took along the largest of duffel bags, empty. It came back full of Leffe and Chimay. I could barely pick it up. I also threw in a couple of packages of choco waffles. Mmmmmm, waffles.

Nice! Never had nor have I heard of Leffe, Chimay (blue) is very good though.

Along the same lines, dad flew with a cappy that made a custom case for up to 9 bottles of wine. The original frame was a couple of milk crates, with a bunch of work to the inside to protect the bottles.

You can find Leffe Blonde (pronounced: Leff-a) at liquor stores that have a good Belgium selection. All the other flavors have have not found in the US so, I have to bring them back. My two favorites are Leffe Brown and Leffe 9%.

Great pics Doug!

It's ok, you colonials aren't expected to know how to pour beer properly

 

[staglia]

Don't worry Doug, the head allows the aromas of the beer to fully develop, enhancing the beer's flavor...you just took it to the extreme.
Cheers!

PS Anyone ever tried "Delirium Tremens" ?

Not only have I had it, I drank some while sitting in the bar of the same name! Delirium is in the Guinness Book of World Records as having the most beers in one place. They have over 2000 beers.
