Welcome to our blog-keeping you updated with all our latest tours and what's happening in the world of beer tourism and Cultural Beer Tours in Europe and USA. Cheers!
Hi Everyone, Sorry not much blogging recently, been in Franconia for 16 excellent days on tours.
We now have over 300 litres of pretty awesome beer fresh from Bavaria as well as Altbier in oak barrels, please see our beer list. See you there. We have 14 different beers for this festival, we hope you like them! Beers of Germany Side 1Download

We're getting very excited about Oktoberfest this year and thought we'd get you in the mood, we know it is only 87 long long days until the 176th festival but hey, why not!
As part of this year's Oktoberfest Training Package (OTP), it is recommended that you learn certain things before the Big O. One of Munich's finest songs In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus we find to be very emotional and makes us think of singing, large large beers and chicken. Not to mention Dirn'dls...
This year we have included 2 very useful videos to guide you along your way and ensure that when in Munich you sing like a local. We do however recommend that you listen very carefully to the words, sing this very quietly at first and gradually build up to a higher volume, then when you are confident you can introduce the song to your mates down the pub or at work, sit on a bench and roll side to side.
Good luck, one two, three.....
In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus: Eins, zwei, ... g'suffa! Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus: Eins, zwei, ... g'suffa! Da hat so manche braver Mann: Eins, zwei, ... g'suffa! Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann Schon früh am Morgen fing er an Und spät am Abend kam er heraus So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.
In English this would sound something like this...
In Munich stands a Hofbräuhaus: one, two ... cheers! There run out so many steins: one, two ... cheers! There are so many brave men: one, two ... cheers! Show what he can endure Already early in the morning he begins And late at night he comes out So beautiful it is in the Hofbräuhaus!
There are currently 2 places available (6 people maximum) on our October Great Belgium Beer Tour (GBBT-091016). This epic 10-day adventure across the whole of Belgium and northern France starts in Düsseldorf, Germany visiting every Belgian Province and Trappiste Abbey and ends in Düsseldorf! Awesome! If Düsseldorf isn't a good pick-up/drop-off for you then talk to us and we can sort something out!
This exclusive 'gourmet' tour travels in an anti-clockwise direction and takes in bier-cafes, world class Belgian restaurants, breweries, historical attractions, religious sites, countryside, WW1 and WW2 sites and much much more!
Even if you don't even like beer you will see the whole of Belgium anyway!

We don't often put stuff like this on the blog but just recieved this from a 75-year old retired man of the cloth, it's a corker....
The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.
Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.
You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.
