They do make quite a few of them in Germany, but I think I have had some from other countries already. My quest for weird beers brought me to strange places.

Champagne on the beach then little sister at home. Taittinger is very good and doesn’t belong to a big conglomerate like most champagne.

Spent some time browsing in an upmarket wine merchant's earlier today, and emerged with some excellent bottles of Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Tokaji among several others.

I’m visiting a small beer and food festival in Hildesheim. Quite a few lovely pilsners and stouts on tap!

Anything really interesting?
While I am more than partial to the entire Weihenstepahner range of beers, I must admit that I am intrigued by the sound of such stouts on tap at a lovely local beer festival.
Yum.

My favourite local pub has their first own Pilsner on tap. Otherwise, I’m on it. I’ve heard that the Buddelship brewery is here somewhere, where they usually have both standard craft beers and aged “historical” beer styles. I will report back.

I’ve had a couple of interesting talks with local brewers, and I’ve had an amazing port wine cask matured wild ale from Hamburg. Got myself a bottle of one of their other wild ales. Good day!

Sipping a glass (or three) of a most unusual (and award winning) blend from the highly regarded Hungarian Pannonhalmi vineyard (originally, a monastery that dates back to 996 AD/CE.
The wine is a white wine that goes by the name of Tricollis (there is also a red wine - and a rosé, from the same producer bearing the same name); the wine is a blend of 45% Olaszrizling (Welshriesling), 30% Rhein Riesling, 15% Gewürztraminer, and 10% Pinot Blanc.
A very interesting, and rather refreshing, wine.

Neither had I, until they were recommended to me.
I've edited my earlier post to clarify that this is a Hungarian wine.

I am sipping a glass of glorious Gewürztraminer from the Pannonhalmi vineyard in Hungary.

A glass of flawless, glorious, exquisitely crisp, Riesling (from the Pannonhalmi vineyard) has found its way to me this wonderful (late?) spring evening where I am sipping (and savouring) it, somewhere in the south of a "mitteleuropa" central European country.....

I'm having a Fuller's ESB now, one of the finest English bitter beers I've ever had. I should restock my fridge with it when my local pub has it again.
