If your looking for ideas I was thinking about my brief time in Deutschland. I had pretty much unlimited access to free Bellheimer Bier (www.bellheimer.de). Long story, including my appearance on the TV show Nur die Liebe zählt. My favorite was their Dunkel Weizen but I don't see it on their list now.

I was there before this:
5. Dezember 1995
Fusion der Unternehmen Parkbrauerei AG und der Bellheimer Privatbrauerei K. Silbernagel AG und der Bellheimer Mineralquellen GmbH. Es entsteht die Park & Bellheimer AG.
They were in negotiations then, which was very stressful for the employees of such an old private brewery.

So the products have likely changed, but you might find one of their offerings that looks worth trying.

Drank this with my corned beef for St. Patrick's Day (REWE didn't have any Guinness in the Getranke section, but I forgot to heck the coolers by the checkout).

Well, I finished off BAFS 2017 with a non-German beer, Krušovice Cerne, a dark Czech beer since I was having dinner at Klein Praga in Diez after an afternoon ride to Limburg and Hünfelden.
