I have had some truly excellent beers so far on this trip. In Paris I had two different Grimberger (sp?) varieties – a blanc and a red, both of which superb. I would highly recommend seeking them out – they are, if I remember rightly, Belgian beers. I also have had several made by Trappist monks, all very good. And the surprise in something called Manger's Irish Apple cider made from 17 varieties of apples – very refreshing and even Lynn liked it! We also sampled the apple wine in Frankfurt, something of a local specialty. It was interesting, good with a little lemonade added.
Here's a surprising fact – I really didn't drink much scotch in Edinburgh (aside from some of Charlie Rader's private stock – thanks Charlie!) and now that we're in Germany I don't really feel like drinking beer – very odd…
