Wow, look what's selling in costco !!
Looks like there are enough serious beer drinkers (read serious-beer, and not beer-drinker) around :))

Darmstädter Ratskeller Hausbrauerei

Stayed at the Bockshaut hotel near marktplatz in Darmstadt. The brewery was right next door.

Currently 2 beers being brewed - light and dark. This is the dark. Nice..."FRESH" is the word :))

Toasted Lager - Blue Point Brewing - Long Island

From last winter ..

Found one bottle of ommegang adoration at the "paces bottle shop" nearby and thought it is way too early to start seeing this years brews.

Confirmed with the storekeeper - a little aged bottle from last year - perfect !

Affligem Blond

Really liked it. No need to worry about food pairings. Just the beer makes a great dinner :)
