Oddly enough I'm just gathering bottles to take back to Baarer Braueri. We seemed to have got through a number of mandelgold at the weekend

I haven't been out much in Zürich recently, but I regularly have a couple of beers in germany two or three times a week.

The last two occasions I drank beer in Zürich (the house beer whatever it was) I have had the mutha of all headaches. Not the usual mild dullness, but an sharp intense pain above the eye - almost like a migraine.

I'm not sure if it is the beer or the MSG-laden food that I had with it, or maybe I am just out of condition(ing)

The L’Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien was, apparently, voted the best beer in the world by some bloke in the New York Times. Zum Hut in Uster sells it (incidentally Zum Hut has perhaps the best drinks menu I have ever seen).

Personally I don't find it to be the best beer in the world, but each to their own. I'd recommend the Biera Engadianaisa as the best Swiss beer they do.

I do like it at Coop where the cold cans of Lowenbrau are 1.15 and Feldscheissen Blue is 1.50. I see people buying the Feldscheissen and really wonder if they were dropped on their heads as babies

That New York Times guy doesn't know his beer then.

Timothy Taylor Landlord is the undisputed best beer in the world.
