    A genuine crisis

    Ok need your help folks. As you know I've been working in Germany a bit, and am currently.

    Well, as I spend a lot of time away from home I have to find a way to unwind in the evenings. This involves spending lots of time in bars.

    One such bar this week presented me with a very significant problem. Now I like beer. A lot. And none more so than German beer. Manys the time I will chug back a few Hefe Weissen (Helles) and really enjoy them.

    Anyway back to the bar. This bar was serving a brand of beer called Koeztritzer. The name of the beer is Schwarzbier, or black beer. It's like a black lager really. Only really, really nice.

    So nice in fact that I have fallen in love with the stuff. This however presents me with a problem. I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells the stuff, except for one online outfit but I'd rather get it from somewhere I can collect.

    So, seeing as I won't always be here in Germany you can see my dilemma. These are the options as I see them.

    1] booze cruise every quarter.
    2] become a stockist
    3] brew it
    4] convince a local stockist to stock it
    5] move to Germany
    6] cross Europe beer pipeline
    7] convince Koeztritzer to move their operation to Luton.

    What do the panel think?
    Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          sp. Köstritzer. East German beer, okay, but not really one for me. There are a few of these now in Germany: Schwarzbier. I have a bar of Köstritzer chocolate still to be eaten

            Booze cruise is the best option.

            Remember, they drive on the wrong side of the road.

                Or a 5 liter party barrel: Köstritzer Schwarzbier 5 L Partyfass - Biere im Partyfass - Biere - Funfass Online Shop (although delivery is €10 more than it costs)
