Thank you for the update.

 

Wow. I’m so saddened to read this. I feel his wife’s pain but I can’t imagine what she’s going through.

I’m on a 10 day vacation visiting Dallas and going home tomorrow. I do have good news: my life longーtime girlfriend and I got married here in Dallas 2 days, but it almost feels icky saying that now. I met the one and only Stahlsturm for 20 minutes. Sweet guy and generous with his beer. Thanks to him, I got to intimately know the great beers of Ravensburg without ever having to leave Ffm. I’m happy I got to meet him and talk to him.
Thank you Bierman so very much for informing us of this.

 

We greatly respect you for keeping us in the loop, my friend.

Here's to upping the positive karma.

 

Dave (@Bierman9), I appreciate you keeping us informed. It is indeed sad to hear what has occurred here. I have never had the pleasure of meeting or 'talking' to Hart & Cheryl but I have always appreciated the contributions of Hart on this forum. These are indeed troubling times for both Hart & Cheryl and the best I can state here is that I will pray for them.

Cheers!

 

Sad news.

 

Thanks for letting us know. It's what I was expecting but not what I was hoping for.

 

I never got to meet Hart -- we had emailed about meeting at the Tag des Bieres in Regensburg one time when I was in Bamberg but something came up and I had to cancel. Always been on my list to get back in touch and try again but I never got around to it

If anybody was doing a YouCaring (or similar) fundraiser, I would gladly contribute. I would expect they do things better in Germany than we do in the States but it still has to be a financial blow in addition to the emotional one.

 

More prayers for Cheryl. I can't imagine what she's going thru, but I hope she finds peace. What city/village in Germany are they located?

 

Stahl and I have "known" each other since the early 2000s (maybe late 90s?) when we were both active members over at the RealBeer forum. We've had our agreements and disagreements -- most of which I blame on bad internet communication across half a world, but I'd always hoped to visit Regensburg on my next trip to Germany and have a beer with him. If I do finally make it to Regensburg, I'll definitely honor him by visiting the great spots he always praised.

In the meantime, I went looking for the one brand of beer from his area that I can get around here; Weltenburger Kloster, and I'm having a drink for him now.

Sorry Hart, no Märzen at the retailer -- but it's not a Weizen either. Here's a tip of a Dunkel to internet friends.

 

Thanks for the update. I was thinking about this the other day.
