I have been to the majority of breweries within a 60 mile radius here, and I have done about five guided tours to breweries. <br />I have not seen a single Speibecken, and exactly one brewery had a beer sampling at the end, and that was part of the Groupon deal, where you got to take home a case of their beer of your choice. <br />The people that can't hold their beer (or overconsume) are typically youngsters and tourists. Your average German knows his or her limit.Matthiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193012746501274857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-86437943520294869922019-03-05T02:32:03.490-06:002019-03-05T02:32:03.490-06:00thanks for being so busy for us readers ;)
