If I wanted to wait for beer I'd brew it myself.

When I was there we were staying with friends, and called the bar and put in the order before we got there. I was within walking distance and they patrons were well known, but still, you had to order another after you ordered the first. If you asked the barkeep to tip the glass he was insulted. LOL You know us Americans, fast food, fast beer, we hate to wait. LOL! Could not really tell that it tasted that much better for the wait.
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)

Yeah in some places they do that. I used to do stuff like order two or three at a time or get a bottle while it settled or have some shots. Much to my then girlfriends disgust.

I hate the fact you have to order a beer 30 minutes before you want it. They wont dare tip a glass in Germany. They just let the beer head, and it takes forever!

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.

DO take your Warmest Sweater and your best winter coat. No wonder the Germans are in the public fountains when they come to Greece. They are on fire in that summer heat. lol

Yeah, that's what I learned earlier today at the pre-departure orientation meeting. Pack for any kind of weather. A good jacket, pants, umbrella...good things to have just in case. (Quoting Message by spapad from Saturday, May 15, 2010 5:42:39 PM)

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.
