    Sweet, thanks Danfue! That's a regular stop for me. I only can travel by foot unfortunately (or bus when I decide the trip is worth the cost), so no Atlantic Ale cases. But I was really excited to get single bottles of it and also the other Bayern/Franken beers I've tried so far.

    I went ahead and scheduled our tour for Saturday, April 19th at 1pm. We'll meet at Faust's Besucherkeller, which is connected to the brewery (Hauptstrasse 219, Miltenberg).
    Please send me a message with the number of people that you'll be bringing. The tour is free and will include some beers at various stops throughout the tour. We'll head to Zum Riesen afterwards for some more drinks and some food (at your expense). Feel free to bring some bottles of regional beer or homebrew for trading.

    @MattRiggs I keep forgetting to send you a beer-mail! I will be in attendance, it's just a matter of how many. Die Frau und das Kind will leider not be in attendance, but I'm not ruling out the possibility of making friends and bringing them along.

    I'd love to do this. My wife said I could, but in a manner that said I'd better not. :astonished:

    Discretion is the better part of valor.

    Wow.. I just realised, that some of you guys have to live nearby - I'm Born in Mainz, now living in wiesbaden but working in a office in Weisenau (5min from the getränkehandel Ziegeler)
    Maybe some of you like to attend to a Deutsch-American homebrewmeeting we just started in that Area?

    Markus, I'd love to come check out a meeting and/or brew day with your club sometime. Maybe the next BA Germany meetup can be with your club...

    I always enjoy checking out other people's systems and processes (and beer). Does you club have a website?

    Our “club“ - if you want to call it that. (Bunch of random homebrewers drawn together, looking for occcasions to meet :wink: ) - is organised in a facebook-group so far (D.R.A.F.T.), just friend me on facebook, then I can Add you to the group to keep informed. (It's a “private Group“ therefore I'm only able to add facebook- friends) :wink:


    Anyways would be great to have a meeting/brewday together. :slight_smile: - we definately want to attend to your meeting in April.

    The actual gathering deserves a thread of its own, come the time.

    With images, of course! Otherwise, it never happened. :grinning:

    Hey, welcome! I live in Wiesbaden too.
    I'm into homebrewing since a few months, actually my third brew (a Maibock) is just boiling away in the kitchen. Is there any other way to get in contact with the homebrewers' meeting since I don't have a Facebook account?

    so Matt, 3 weeks out, what's the list look like? Did any of the DRAFT folks sign on? I saw a group on the hobbybrauer.de website brewed a communal Märzen, were you also in on that?

    MattRiggs Crusader (451) Dec 1, 2012 Illinois

    Yeah, it looks like a handful of the DRAFT folks will be joining us, but I don't have a solid number yet. I wasn't there for the hobbybrauer.de brew day, but I wish I was. Those guys just about emptied out the beer fridge that's up in the room where they brewed.

    We just got back from 6 days in Belgium (Brussels & Bruges) with plenty of site seeing along the way. We're really looking forward to this!
