| Cheers Barry, i'll be in Bamberg from 4 May-9 May then heading to the Oberpfalz for my first Zoigl expedition. I'll also be at the Annafest in July, staying in Bamberg, with 16 others celebrating a friends impending wedding, a stag do I guess you could call it, but certainly a well behaved one (I hope). Jersey is probably one of the worst place in the world to be a beer lover. Expensive and boring selection. We have 1 cask brewery called Liberation which makes some ok real ales, but the guest selection from the UK is dyer (though we have 2 excellent beer fests twice a year). We also have a nano brewery called Pocket which is quite new and really very good, but they don't make enough to get about. Cask ale is common, but just poor brewery selection i.e Marstons. I guess I'm fortunate that my parents live in France and I use them as a conduit in a beer importing scheme I have going where I order a box through either Bierzwerg (www.bierzwerg.de) or Landbierparadies (www.landbierparadies.com) and then bring back to Jersey. Both these sites have excellent selections and great prices. There are no specialist bottled shops here; I can't even get Duvel, never mind the European/American craft stuff I really want. |
