The latest episode of "Regenauer's Reisen durch das Fränkische Bierparadies", a journey through Nürnbergerland, will air on Monday: http://www.br-online.de/bayerisches-fernsehen/regenauers-reisen/index.xml "Noteworthy beers are brewed here in winter which combat darkness and depression and after whose enjoyment Xmas songs are sung lovelier and louder. Among these are the smooth 'full moon beer', which is said to have magical powers." "Whether beer goes well with Xmas goose at all and what a 'Hänfling' ('linnet'?) is are addressed by Regenauer during his wintery trip with original beer conniseurs through homey taverns, and rustic breweries." On the 26th, "Klöster in Hessen" will be on, which IIRC has a nice segment on Kloster Kreuzberg, including black & white 1950's footage of monks filling Steinkrüge from Holzfässern. http://www.texxas.de/tv/Kl%C3%B6ster+in+Hessen.html And on the same day, "Bilder einer Landschaft" will feature Kronach; specifically mentioned is the post-reunification revival of the border town's Brauerei Kaiserhof. http://www.tvtv.de/tvtv/mytvtv/web/programdetails.vm?programmeId=18767352&tref=Search&lang=de&epgView=list&groupid=0 (painful URL!)
