The beer pictures because people are too lazy to look at the gallery.
This is the Zischke unfiltered pils brewed by Konisbacher. The brewery is on the hill overlooking the Rhein River. The building itself is very tall because the tanks holding the beer are built up tall to take up less space. Beyond the color the German pilsner isn't much like the American pilsner. It has a little bite but more flavor, not watered down at all.
The Konigsbacher mai bock. Tastes like pretty much like the mai bock you can get here, but it had a bit more bite though was very smooth. 6.4% alcohol as most mai bocks are.
This is a dark beer (dunkel) at a small brewery in the middle of downtown Heidelberg. You probably see a dark beer and think it's like Guinness, thick and heavy. They're nothing like that, very tasty and extremely smooth. Notice the beer coaster... 33%! They brew a 33% alcohol beer and sold it in .2 liter glasses, but they were all out when we were there.
That mug is .5 liter.
This blurry picture is from the Eisgrub brewery, downtown Mainz. They had a couple of different brews, both on the darker side though I can't even begin to describe the flavor. You could tell they were darker by the taste, but were smooth like butter. I had a couple too many of these on my last night there, basically passed out in my hotel room and woke up the next morning without the slightest sign of a hangover. I bought one of those clay mugs to bring home.
Two other different beers my coworker and I had... Can't remember what these were.
And for fun... While in Idstein we wanted a snack, saw this Italian ice cream shop with a bunch of people outside eating ice cream and drinking coffee so we thought it would be a good place to go. They had these amazing milk shakes. Mine had bananas and rum and my coworker got strawberries and whiskey. Best ice cream and milk shakes I have ever had.
