Some Nostalgia for the Holiday

 

Please enjoy.

Hotel Alfa Update

I was emailing with Anton this morning just to check-in and see how things are going. It doesn't sound good for him. Here's his response to me about business.....

Dear Keith, 

nice to hear from you.

Business is still worse. No chance for a better situation up to now.

With a lot of fortune we may achieve till the end of the year 5%! from the level we had two years ago.

Not sure, how we would manage it till next April.

Till December the situation might be save.

Sad Day Flying Dan Thought I Should Share

Well these came today unfortunately when I ordered them I also found out I was going to Oktoberfest in Germany, so I sold them, then Covid hit. So..now I just get to take a picture of them and find a good German bier to drink from my couch while watching the Ryder cup on TV! 

UPDATE: I DID FIND A GOOD GERMAN BIER!

O’zapft ist Hofbrauhaus 2021

 

Hofbrauhaus September 2021

Haxe, Schnitzel, Bratkartoffel, Sauerkraut, Blaukraut.  And a Mass Beer. We’ve got the complete picture.

Wait …… who the fuck is Alice.

 

First Beer in Neurembug

BeerGartner and Barbus say hello to all Oktoberfestvisitors. Prosit!

First Evening in Bamberg

Recognize the Hotel “Alt Ringlein”. Was booked for the Immersion Trip 2021. Great place! Biergarten, Rauchbier Brauerei, Hackse and more. Munich Style. 

First Beer in Bamberg

 Greetings from Barbus, SchlumberLady, BeerGartner and BeerCap. Prosit!!!!!

Day trip...

 This place is almost to Regensburg.  About a 2 hour train ride from Munchen Hbf.

Last Nun to brew beer

Bier Immersion 2021

No answer has been provided, how many biers were consumed during the trip. Where there any accidents or injuries?

The Journey Has Ended

We have completed the circle of midwestern Hobrauhauses, with a couple extra bier venue visits. While Barley Man is absent from this picture at Hofbrauhaus Newport, he did visit during our brief recuperation in Dayton.

A Missing Oktoberfestian

On our Hofbrauhaus tour the gang is having a good time reminescing (sp?). Has anyone seen the missing Oktoberfestian in the middle?

Früh Kölsch

 Stopover on our way to Italy; Cologne! We were thinking of you.

Less than two weeks away... Questions Remain

 Less than two weeks until the trip of a lifetime..  Oktoberfest Analysts are wondering:

1.  How many beers will be drunken total during the trip?

2.  How many beers will Flyin Dan leave half full?

3.  How many times will Doppleboch say" Good god, that's horrible!"... or something to that effect.

4. Will sheep be present at Flyin Dan's farm?  Will the lambs look like Flyin Dan?  

5. How may different law enforcement jurisdictions will the crew personally encounter?

6. Sausages or Hendl?..  at some point, it won't matter.

7. Will the team stay away from discussing politics for 8 whole days???

8. In what form will Einfahrt appear,  spiritual only?

9.  Will Chugger go over Niagara Falls in a beer keg?  

10.  And the final question:  Who the fuck is Alice?

Tickets purchased, ready to go on the tour!

 It's all over,  but the fun part...  

Updated info for posterity.
