Brewery: Trehsosensky Plant (Завод Трехсосенский (ООО))
Brewery Location: Somewhere in Russia… I am struggling to find out.
Alcohol: 4.9%
I was walking around my neighborhood and I found a polish market. In the search for poppy seeds rolls (which I used to get at the polish market where I lived in Chicago), I went inside to see what they have. Continue reading
Brewery: Rhein-Ruhr Getränkspezialitäten GmbH
Brewery Location: Essen, Germany
Alcohol: 5%
This was simply a 3-pack that I saw for sale in the store here in Germany and I decided to buy it on a whim. As far as I could tell (based on the bottle), the brewery and location are as I indicated above, but I seem to find conflicting information online. It basically seems like a private craft beer brand for certain grocery stores in Germany, and I am not even sure if it’s done by one brewery or not. Continue reading
Brewery: Greene King
Location: Bury ST Edmunds, Suffolk, England
Alcohol: 6%
This was just a beer that a friend picked up for me when she went to the Netherlands. I half jokingly told her to get some beers for me since she was going to a beer store, but she came back with this, and a few others which I have and will write about! Continue reading
Brewery: De Koninck Brewery
Location: Antwerpen, Belgium
Alcohol: 8%
A Friend of mine brought me this triple Belgian beer when they went to Belgium, and I was pleasantly surprised! Continue reading
Last year, I was on vacation with my dad here in Europe, and we went to a few cities in Germany and the Czech Republic. It was at about this point that I started actually taking the idea of making a beer and backpacking blog a little more seriously, and I tried to write down some notes on the beers. Fortunately, I managed to find my old notes in one of my journals. Unfortunately, my notes are sparse at best, and so I figured I would more or less just make an aggregate rating of my general opinion on Czech beers based off of my memory and my sparse notes.
The first place that we got some Czech beers was when we we just crossed over the border from Germany into the Czech Republic’s Bohemian Switzerland National Park (although it’s not even relatively close to Switzerland…). My dad and I took a ferry across the river dividing the 2 countries at that point and we stopped for a few beers at a bar. Continue reading
Someone has already mentioned to me that my “Beer” section is glaringly empty. My original plan was to get through all of my travels up until the point where I started recording my old notes down regarding my thoughts on beers (which I believe was about when I went to the Czech Republic, I will have to dig through my old notes and pictures to be sure) before I started posting about beers. I will still focus on travels, but I suppose I should also post beer posts as I can (notably because I have a large case of various beers that were given to me by friends that I need to get through).
This is my new blog, where I will finally start writing about all the journeys I have been on. A few people have asked me for a blog, and I guess it is now time to comply. I might also take the chance to write the occasional review for some product I used while traveling.
I am also a big fan of beer, so I will also start writing about different beers I have tried in different places, and my thoughts about said beers. There are so many beers to try, so I don’t believe I will run out of content there.
I Hope to post something every week or two, so I hope you come back on a regular basis!
