    I suspect you meant Helles Weizen, right?

      Helles
      They are wondeful people, the Germans. They get what you mean.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Wrong.

        Weizenbier (or Weißbier) is a light beer of which there comes 2 distinct types, Kristallweizen and Hefeweizen of which only the latter you get a Dunkel (there is also a Weizenbock Dunkel but not really found too easily). These are obergärige beers

        Helles is basically an üntergärige beer and is is a light beer but you might find it also called lager or export. A very different type of beer

          Had my first experience of Germans being OK there - we went to the Sunday Fish Market at Altona, 7:00am - wasn't happy, boring, only to find that in the Fischmarkt Building each Sunday Morning, there's a full scale party going on from people on the piss the previous night, band on (Dire Straits clone) beer everywhere and it was 7:30am......
          We went there too (maybe on your recommendation?)

            So if you're in Bonn, and clientCo are in Bonn, why don't you just hop skip to their office rather than working from the hotel?

              That's what I said upthread but got a stream of (un)consciousness from the Suited One.

              So, either we are all thick (unlikely, as a collective) or Suity is thick (likely, based on previous performance), or this is all a dream (depends on Spesh count).

                I did New Year there a couple of years ago, crazy. This year I spent a couple of days on the Reeperbahn, actually on the corner of Herbertstrasse (where women aren't allowed into) mainly in The Other Place, which was interesting

                  Women 'and children' I think the sign says Darmy - a subtle difference if you are Jimmy Savile or a member of Parliament or Royalty.
