Day 6… Today we went to Leipzig by train and toured a brewery and a brew pub. While in Leipzig I enjoyed tasting Gose; it has a sourish taste that is great! We also experienced some local scenery including a church where Bach played. On the way to Leipzig we completed two activities in our book. We learned that there are two enzymes that break down amylose into fermentable sugars. We also learned that adding hops at the end of the boil will give the beer a hoppy aroma.
Day 7… Today we went to the Berliner brewery where we saw how a big cooperation brews. While at the brewery we enjoyed tasting four beers. Two of which were pilsners. Later we went to a brew pub where we tasted another four beers and enjoyed a wonderful goulash dinner.
Day 8… Today we left Berlin for Munich. We traveled by train which took about 6 hours. While on the train we played card games and completed another two activities. We learned that the color of the beer is not directly related to the ABV%. We also learned that the amount of time a beer is boiled can determine the bitterness.
Upon arrival to Munich we found our hotel. Then we all walked around the city a little and tasted beers. At dinner I enjoyed some potato pancakes while enjoying a beer that tasted a little like banana.
