Earlier this week we stopped in at the De Bierkoning in Amsterdam.
Much to my surprize I found they had a new Hansson's Lambic variety.
Hansson's now makes a strawberry lambic in addition to the gueuze and
kriek. The proprietor said he just received them a couple of weeks
ago. In addition, they have a new label and are using the high grade
corks (like Boon) and wire cages. Now maybe the bottles will store a
little better - I have had several of the old bottles blow the corks or
leak while sitting in my basement
Unfortunately, the De Ryk minikeg on the counter was just for display.
If it would have been available I would have found a way to fit it into
the suitcase.
While passing through Antwerp, I had Westmalle doubel on tap with
lunch. Some of the best head retention I have ever seen on a Trappist
beer - there was still a little foam left when we finished the meal and
the beer.

My problems were with UPS. The time they destroyed my entries for the
second round of the AHA Nationals resulted in my insurance claim being
better than any of the prizes in the competition.
I suspect package shipment is going to be even more difficult as a
result of the September 11 events.

On Oct. 1, I sent 2 entries with FedEx to Fargo for their Hoppy
Holloween competition. Tracking indicates the package got as far as
the Mpls/StP airport, but no trace of package has been found since
then and they're still looking. I think they figured out it was beer
and drank them. Dave Trautman with the PHC says he never got them.
Good thing for them they're not in the package delivery business.
Oops, what a minute ... they are! I seem to remember Steve Piatz
having a similar experience, but I don't remember if it was FedEx.

There is a gasthaus associated with the Im Fuchsen alt brewery in
Dusseldorf. The walkway to some of the rooms looks on to the brewery
(although you would have to be a brewer to know this, the equipment you can
actually see doesn't look very brewery-like). Rooms on the street can be a
bit noisy on weekends, but if you drink enough that won't matter either. I
believe the name of the hotel is Am Fuchsen, although others may remember
this more precisely. Easy walk from there to the other three well-known
altstadt alt breweries.
Cologne: no recommendations although there is a tourist office across the
street from the Dom that can help you find a room and quite a number of
hotels around the downtown area where the breweries and their outlets are
concentrated.
Have fun!

THE place to stay is Am Fuschen Hotel, upstairs from Im Fuschen Brewpub,
in Dusseldorf. The front window of your room looks out onto the sidewalk
in front of the brewpub, and the back door overlooks the brewhouse.
Upstairs from one of Dusseldorf's best althouses, and an easy walk from
the others.
Contact: Am Fuschen Hotel, Ratinger Strasse 32, 40213 Dusseldorf,
Germany Voice:(02 11) 86796-0 Fax:(02 11) 32-86-39 Call during the day -
their time - to get somebody who speaks English. The proprietor Herr
Bucher will have stories to tell about Herr Deschner, Herr Hamburg, Herr
Mayes, Herr Daniels, and Herr Linsner (Mr. Forgetter Of Keys) of the
Chicago Beer Society who have been previous guests at the hotel.
And beer? Im Fuschen is the most perfectly balanced of the Dusseldorf
altbiers, although less hoppy than the towering Zum Uerige. Many of us
say, "Zum Uerige is our favorite, but Im Fuschen is the perfect example
of the style."
To frost the cake, Im Fuschen has really, really good food.
Prices are reasonable considering the Downtown location. At last visit
around $85USD for two people.

Penis' Found Floating in Bottle Was Mold, Cops Say
Copyright 2001 Scripps Howard News Service
An object found in a fruit drink last week is not a human penis, as
previously believed, but mold or bacteria, Commerce City, Colo., police
now say.
"We worked off the best information we had," said Elaine Rowe, police
spokeswoman. "We didn't have any clue that it could be anything else.
It's very strange. I've never seen anything like this in law
enforcement."
Last Thursday machinist Juan Sanchez-Marchez, 41, found what appeared to
be a
3-inch section of a human penis in his 20-ounce Ora Potency Fruit Punch
after he had downed two-thirds of the drink.
He turned it over to Commerce City police, who sent it to the Adams
County (Colo.) Coroner's Office, which determined it was part of a human
penis.
The police issued a press release Friday, and the drink was taken off
grocery-store
shelves.
Rowe said Wednesday the pathologist from the coroner's office didn't do
a tissue
sample but only an external examination of the object before identifying
it as a penis.
Rowe said she could see how the pathologist could come to that
conclusion. "If you
saw it, you would have believed it," she said.
The determination that it was mold or bacteria was made Wednesday.
In the meantime, when the Denver distributor of the drink, Vancol, went
through the
bottles from the recall, workers made a disturbing discovery.
"They found a second bottle with a round, cylindrical object inside,"
said Rowe.
Vancol notified the Food and Drug Administration Tuesday, which in turn,
notified
Commerce City police. Investigators took the second bottle and its
contents and sent it to the coroner's office for examination.
"The assumption is that it is the same thing that was in the first
bottle, so it was sent
off to the FDA for a more thorough test," Rowe said.
Samples of the object found in the first bottle were also sent to the
FDA for additional analysis.
