Not sure where my mind has been the last year … but it’s time for another update on my Growler list work. As a reminder, this list is my effort to complete the All About Beer Magazine’s “Growler List.” 125 best places in the world to have a beer.
From the summary — see my earlier post for explanation:
Total (actual) places visited: 50. I visited 11 places since my last post — my brothers and my best friend joined me in Europe for a 2 week swing (that post will come soon!). Those I’ve visited since my last post:
3) U Fleku (Prague, Czech Rep)
6) Augustiner Keller (Munich, Germany)
28) Zum Uerige (Dusseldorf, Germany)
37) Atelier am Dom (Cologne, Germany)
41) Blues Bar (Stone Town, Zanzibar)
[This place was closed so I substituted Mercury’s …
you can see the old Blues Bar from the Deck]
61) Krcma (Ceske Krumlov, Czech Rep)
68) Gösser Bierklinik (Vienna, Austria)
73) Schlenkerla Brewery Tavern (Bamberg, Germany)
77) Die Weisse (Salzburg, Austria)
78) Halve Maan Brewery (Bruges, Belgium)
90. Cantillon Brewery and Gueuze Museum (Brussels, Belgium)
Place substitutions: 5
Substituting for a place no longer open: 2
