My Top Ten

I'm impressed--there are three in your top 10 that I've not visited yet. Discussion of some others though: "5. Kommunbrauerei Neuhaus an der Pegnitz" "Searching for a strong, hoppy beer, you don’t find anything better." When I was there (I've forgotten which Haus was open that day), the beer was wonderful. Yes, it's strong, but I wouldn't say it was "hoppy", rather, "crisp" and perfectly balanced. A fine, fine Märzenbier, the way Münchener Oktoberfest should be. (And better than any Zoiglbier I had the one time I went to W'bach.) "8. Brauerei Sauer, Rossdorf am Forst" "If you’re looking for a perfect Braunbier (brown beer), that’s the place. A great drink full of interesting nutty flavours, best consumed in spring at the old romantic Keller. " I find the bottled Braunbier at the Brauereigaststätte to be better than the CO2 keg version I've had at the Keller. And it is a lovely, lovely beer. Really not unlike a lager version of a good English brown ale --cleaner, of course, and milder, due to lagering. "9. Brauerei Prechtel, Uehlfeld" "The brewery owns a beautiful Keller at Voggendorf, where they serve Prechtel Kellerbier. I like the flowery, grassy aromata of this otherwise fragrant and light beer. Sometimes it’s better from the bottle (‘Schnapperla’) than from the cask. " Cask or keg (bayerischer Anstich oder CO2) at the Keller? I can't remember which it is. I'll have to try the Schnapperla then. "I hope my English is good enough" Oh, please...give me a break! Dein Englisch ist der Tram jedes Sprach-Trainers. Short banter of English grammar follows, look away or risk being bored to tears. Ein sehr, sehr kleines Ding ist: die Verlaufsorm (-ing) wird nicht verwendet, wenn die Rede ist, was eine Firma herstellt, macht, oder leistet. "They brew 3 beers." Wenn aber davon gesprochen wird, was gerade im Moment gemacht wird, dann ist die Verlaufsform zu benutzen: "They're brewing the Winterbock now." Wenn man davon redet, wo man wohnt oder lebt, wird die -ing Form auch --normalerweise, aber mit ein paar Ausnahmen-- nicht verwendet. Um zu betonen, wie lange schon man irgendwo wohnt, kann die Verlaufsform zusammen mit dem Present-Perfekt vorkommen ("I've been living in Bamberg for 5 years"), oder zu betonen, dass man irgendwo kurzfristig wohnt ("Right now I'm living in a hotel"). But these are tiny, tiny things.
