Mmm that sounds tasty. It's near Arbon SG isn't it ? I may even pay a visit, but I fear I am not stupid enough to be welcome in that area.

You can overcome this problem by sleeping with your sister if you have one.

Wädibräu is very good. Baarer beer is also very good.

My favorite is Adlerbräu which you can get in Zürich HB at this
bar with all the beers on tap.

And I think that Spiffing Ales is going to do an IPA soon. I hope VERY SOON!

Bier Paul can be had on tap at Les Halles, near Technopark, and it is decent.

Yeah that's not bad, what's the other stuff they sell ? It has a stupid name like "Start" or "Stop" or "Vomit" or something....

Turbinenbrau
Sprint - horrible but hip lager, headache inducing
Start - wheat beer, OK, would drink
Rekord - dark beer, best of the bunch, would drink for pleasure

Turbinenbraeu

If you know the Rappi Bier factory you will probably like their award winning Black Bier - Steve now makes a "Big Black bier" - I tried one this weekend, it's an imperial Stout, almost a meal in a glass and a massive 8% alcohol. I don't normally like such strong beers as they are usually too sweet but this was delicious.

Be warned though, do not drink it if you intend to drive, operate machinery or attempt a conversation.
