OT: Spielbach beer

Will do my best - if Juergen is with me, might be less of a problem because, amazing as it may seem, the delightful lady who runs the place is very reluctant to sell bottles to strangers! On our last visit, Juergen, who is a fairly regular visitor, had to negotiate pretty hard and was only allowed a few bottles. I think it's to do with people not returning empties but it is a fairly bizarre situation. Last year, I took a few bottles from Hirschbrau to Eschawo but managed to drop my backpack in the train. Result, one broken bottle and clothes all covered in helles beer. This year, we're going to send some stuff on, so might be a bit more room in the pack. Fortunately, a Saturday journey from Leipheim to Eschawo only involves one change in Regensburg, so that makes life much easier. Other times, we've had to change up to 4 times.
