Radler

So I don’t mean to harp on alcohol, as I have in past posts, but it is rather amazing here. It’s almost like a quest, for in between the rows upon rows of pilsner there’s a few diamonds, such as the illusive lager, or a new favorite: Radler.

What’s Radler, you ask? Well imagine if you accidentally poured 7-Up into your favorite beer. “Man!” you say before you look around trying to see if anyone will notice what you’re about to do next. You pick up the drink, put its mouth to your lips and drink the sweet mixture within. Radler is that, but without the guilt.

It’s great, and almost every brewer here makes it in Germany. However, my favorite by far is made by Rothaus, which is famous for its pilsner and for sponsoring the Freiburg Wölfe (the local hockey team).

That’s about it. I’m sure I’ll have more stories for you all when I return from Oktoberfest in Munich, though you probably wont read this for, at least, a few days. I’m going to Munich Saturday the 4th at five in the morning, getting there at noon, and then leaving back to Freiburg at three in the morning on Sunday the 5th. That’s right, no sleep ‘till Freiburg!






Tschuß!
