After graduating from brewing school, it was time to do a bit of traveling. I was already in Europe and had a flat I could come back to, so this was the ideal time. My girlfriend (now fiancee, but that story comes later) came out to visit me in Berlin, I rented a car, and we spent some time touring Germany and Belgium.
One of my goals while in Germany was to drink the most iconic regional beer styles of Germany in their cities of origin: Berliner Weisse in Berlin, Rauchbier (smoked beer) in Bamberg, Gose in Leipzig, Kölsch in Köln (Cologne), and Altbier in Düsseldorf. I’d already had plenty of Berliner Weisse and got to drink fresh Rauchbier when the class went to Bamberg on the final excursion. This trip would be an opportunity to drink the last three though.
