UK escapee 🇬🇧 in 🇩🇪 since 2019. Based in the beautiful Bayerischer Wald 🌲 with Loz. Adventures in van Frank 🚐 — chasing beers, breweries 🍻, random gigs, festivals 🎶 & more. Still supporting Worcester City 🔵⚪ from afar
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.

Off we go then

First stop Fuerst Wiacek and this one was canned only last week 💥

Train beers are go 💥

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 🥳
January 23, 2026 at 7:34 AM
Sat in Yormas at Plattling station, mmhhhh 🤔 do we need 8 train beers for 12.80€

-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
January 21, 2026 at 7:09 AM
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 🤞🏻

Not my first of the day, but the first time I've had this Dunkel

A snowshoe loop hike up Silberberg, nice views today, however we both wished the hike could have been a bit longer.
January 18, 2026 at 12:40 PM
Nice walk around Bodenmais and Silberberg yesterday, it's only 30mins away but we stopped overnight in Frank (camper). Off snowshoeing around Silberberg today.

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.
January 17, 2026 at 8:19 AM
Okay it's the weekend, cheers all, let's go. 🍻
January 16, 2026 at 3:53 PM
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
January 15, 2026 at 9:01 PM
Only one bottle left after this one 😥. Come on @thornbridgedom.bsky.social get your lot @thornbridge.bsky.social to brew this again.
January 15, 2026 at 8:56 PM
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.
