Sadly another brewery in our area is too close. Jandelsbrunner brewery in Jandlesbrunn is too close at the end of March 😢. We dropped by the brewery about four years ago when looking at houses in the area. Only last week I picked up a few bottles of their Pils.

More snow this morning and Fritz is out clearing the snow, just done our pavement bless him. I've got to go to the workshop and get more wood today 🥶

Another one that I don't see so often, and yet this one is actually much closer, only 40mins away in Drachselried. It's another very good Hefeweisse.

Haven't had one of these for a while but pleased that the Getrankemarkt in Bodenmais has a very wide selection including this solid offering.

Received email earlier to tell us the Oil delivery driver could come in the morning, crikey.... better get out there and dig him a little path then so he can bring the pipe around the back. That was a bit more exercise than we expected earlier today 😄

Just traveling back from Berlin on the ICE, running 1hr 20 mins late owing to snow & ice. Just gone though Bamberg & WOAH 😳 some heavy snow ❄️ here & still snowing. Difficult to take a photo at speed but believe me lots of the white stuff, even the roads looked completely snowed over.

Received a case of beers from Kostas at Kykao brewery, Patras, Greece yesterday, mostly their own great beers with a few from Strange brew, Athens. We send each other a box of beers 2-3 times a year but it's always nice to receive something when you weren't expecting it 🥳

-16c really?? Not sure how accurate this temperature 🌡️ recording from a car is?? It's definitely cold 🥶 but I thought that it was nearer -9c to -10c

It's a chilly -6c was -9c earlier. The snow is still a reasonable depth despite not being added to for a while now, might get some more this weekend and maybe next week, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

A snowshoe loop hike up Silberberg, nice views today, however we both wished the hike could have been a bit longer.

Lovely morning here ☀️. Looks like it's wall to wall sunshine for a week here, through to next Saturday, but sub zero most of the time.

Nice walk out of the village at lunchtime, we do this walk most days, it's particularly nice on a snowy but cold and sunny day like today

Hey @sleafordmods.bsky.social @roughtraderecords.bsky.social & @bandcamp.com I was going to buy the new Sleaford Mods CD on Bandcamp but €115.37 shipping to Germany 😂, maybe you guys are personally delivering it for that price. Hope it's just a glitch & can be sorted before they all sell out.

Picked up from a supermarket in Utrecht (Albert Heijn, I think?) and the first time that I've seen Tripel Karmeliet in a can.

Osser along with Schönramer it's becoming a regular in our beer fridges. Manfred from across the road came across yesterday, he saw my beers and said
"Fin, you've got Osser, how do you know this brewery, they're very good"
He seemed impressed that I'd sniffed out a beer like Osser.

-2c that's practically shorts weather compared to recent temperatures 😄. Hovering around the zero mark this week so much warmer than of late.
