Day 13… Today started off great I was able to sleep in again. At 2:30 we went for a tour at Pauliner where we tasted a beer during the tour. I have become a fan of the Hell beer here, it is a light lager. When we got back from our tour Keith gave a presentation on monastic brewing. It was neat to learn that monks brew beer, which seems completely backwards from my perspective. After his presentation we tasted some double bocks, which monks brew, and paired them with some local cheese.
Day 14… Today we went for a tour at a monastic brewery, Andechs. There we saw the brewing process and learned that they had moved their brewery off the top of the hill, where it was at first. After our tour we had some free time where I enjoyed some Burger King, the statue of Bavaria, and a nap. In the evening Kala’e gave his presentation on Belgium beers. Belgium beers don’t have to follow the purity law that German beers do, so it was interesting to learn how they add different ingredients to their beers. After his presentation we all went and ate at a place that served great sausage and beer from the barrel.
