Tsingtao 全麦白啤

WHEAT BEER

  At the first moment I thought that it's an imported beer (because of that Gothic font), but then I realized it's a local, Chinese beer can. A photo:
 

The Tsingtao wheat beer, brewed with 100% malt, perfectly inherits the ancient top fermentation.

Used to be, when I was in Germany, I'd take a bike on the weekends and pedal up to the monastery on the other valley wall mountain. In the spring and summer, it was a tourist destination and these scenic buses would stop there and let the passengers go wander in the monastery.

The monks there ran a rescue service in the winter with St. Bernard dogs, complete with the cask strapped to the neck. The dog had to be hefty in order to break through the snow, so they added beer to the food from the time the dog was a puppy, through out it's life to give it mass so it could push through.

In the spring and summer, the monks ran a sort of tourist stop, with stalls out in the open like a small festival. They also did beer brewing, using modern stainless steel equipment in the brewery. You could stand outside and look through large glass windows at the brewery inside.

They had a place there where you could order one of their beers, in an earthen ware mug. Either 1/2 liter or a whole liter. Also for sale were large pretzels. You'd buy the mug of beer of your choice and pay a deposit on the mug. Use the mug as long as you were there and then turn it back in for the refund along with a plastic chit so they knew you got it from them.

Didn't take much beer to knock you on your butt. High alcohol content for beer.

Very interesting experience. I knew about the rescue service with those dogs, but I wasn't familiar with their beer traditions.

The monastery and the surrounding walls were of stone.  The keystone over the archway entering the chapel was dated in the 1600's. The snows in the winter up on the mountain walls were something else. They tended to get deep. About 16 K's from there was the best guilder flying in all of Europe, or so it was claimed. I know I never spent a day there the wind wasn't blowing.

In the winter when the ice and snow hit, it was not uncommon to see the icicles hang parallel to the ground on those hurricane wire fences. It also got really cold there. I don't know how cold cause we never saw thermometers. I know I caught frost bite, after two weeks out in the field without heaters. Those tracks are like big deep freezes without the heater. We couldn't get heaters, being on the tail end of the supply system. We'd order them but they would never show up. Some one would snatch them before they ever made it to us.

 Good post. And another very icy one. It reminds me how I had to walk around 12 km. in a deep snow (and close to jackals all around there) every week, because of lack of buses between a village (where I began my alternative civilian service, in a retirement home*) and a town (where was the nearest railway station). I did this 'journey', because I wanted to spend more time with one of my ex-girlfriends. That time I didn't drink any alcohol (including beer). This is my worst ice-snow-cold-winter memory. I dislike snowy, icy and cold places.
 I'd like to express my empathy.

Big and small Asahi beers

  I like 'Asahi' (I had some other 'Asahi' posts here already) and usually I buy big bottle, but today I saw a discounted small bottle of 'Asahi' and I bought it (+ one big bottle, as usual). And here you may see a photo of these two Asahis: .
