Heh...wishful thinking on my part. 21 KM is a half...what I ran.
I don't think I'd be griping if I did a full in just over 2 hrs. LOL! I'd be signing up for the Olympics.

We are on the second floor so they actually cannot "look in" but something tells me they would not anyway. They are rather involved in their business, whatever that may be.

Excellant Vail! Sounds like an awesome trip! BE SURE to pack clothes for ALL Times of year, as I went in June to Viesbatten and it was cold as hell. We were not prepared for it, as the Greek forcast for Germany at the time had put temps in the 70's. Never rose out of the 50's while we were there. It sucked.

Now you see. Had I tried to explain that it would have sounded completly stupid. LOL And NO I can't tell a good joke either! HA!!

Indeed, it is a 1/2 gallon bottle. Usually brown with a screw-on top. You buy one and you can refill the bottle on the cheap. Many vacuum-seal the cap on with a plastic coating using some form of heat to preserve it longer.
Well, in Park City, the old man sends me out to refill the growler while he sits back watching tv and ordering delivery food. I mention this to the guy at the bar (DAMN cold) and he laughs saying that the word "growler" evolved from fathers sending their sons out to buy them beer. GROWLING at them. LOL!!!
Not sure if this is true or not but the unit and process has been around for centuries.

We have many Micro brews here in the states, and if you ever get a chance to test a "Dixie Blackened Voodoo" it's like a sweeter version of Harps and I don't normally like sweet, but it's good. I love it. Could be because I olnly see it about once every five years, but I would recommend trying one.

I did like the wine sellers places. Old underground war bunkers, perfect for holding wine at the ideal temp. Had a great day there.

Great beer in Germany. I used to live near the Denmark / Germany border. Used to go down to Germany all the time for beers. Never been to Berlin though. That will be awesome. Check out what bands are playing while you are there. Should be some good stuff happening.

I did like the wine sellers places. Old underground war bunkers, perfect for holding wine at the ideal temp. Had a great day there. The old bunker was also warmer than the outside temp at the time so I was glad to be out of the cold. (Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Saturday, May 15, 2010 6:15:33 PM)

Great beer in Germany. I used to live near the Denmark / Germany border. Used to go down to Germany all the time for beers. Never been to Berlin though. That will be awesome. Check out what bands are playing while you are there. Should be some good stuff happening.

Exactlly! If I want to wait for it to come to fruition I'd make it myself. Now Guiness is a great beer and does not have much of a head to wait on. I also enjoy a good Harps on tap although many people find me not up to snuff on that one. I like it!
We have many Micro brews here in the states, and if you ever get a chance to test a "Dixie Blackened Voodoo" it's like a sweeter version of Harps and I don't normally like sweet, but it's good. I love it. Could be because I olnly see it about once every five years, but I would recommend trying one.

Any bar that doesn't do fast beer doesn't get my patronage. I was at this Dutch bar once and he handed me the beer half beer half head. He was pretty upset when I made him fill it to the top and then skulled it back. The only beer I wait for is Guinness. And that only takes a few minutes.

Probably won't try any beer (we'll see), but I'll definitely check out what will be going on overthere HM music-wise. I have classes four days a week, so there will be lots of time for some sight-seeing, pic-taking and souvenir shopping.

Excellant Vail! Sounds like an awesome trip! BE SURE to pack clothes for ALL Times of year, as I went in June to Viesbatten and it was cold as hell. We were not prepared for it, as the Greek forcast for Germany at the time had put temps in the 70's. Never rose out of the 50's while we were there. It sucked.
