Nurnburg

We’ve made a discovery of great importance today. 

Several years ago, I came across Tucher, a delicious weissbier, in (of all places) Peterborough. Wetherspoons were selling it for £1.50 a bottle, I’d assumed it was something of an experiment since it disappeared after a couple of months and wasn’t available in other towns. At least none I’d frequented. 

It made a reappearance a couple of years ago though, across the chain. While the price has substantially increased, it’s still a preferred choice. 

And, today, while wandering the streets of Nuremburg, My second in command pointed out the numerous pieces of Tucher artwork adorning the exteriors of various establishments. 

On closer inspection, I found that the stuff is actually brewed here. How didn’t I know that?


One could have attempted a brewery tour. I wonder where said brewery is located. 

We enjoyed some other beer here too. 

Bi Nuu

I have to say that I was very impressed with Bi Nuu, a really cool music venue pretty much underneath Schlesisches Tor metro station. 

We were there, of course, to see Mr William McCarthy. Despite some major technical issues, he put on a great show, with lots of Augustines’ stuff, some new material and a couple of covers. 

As always, he showed himself to be a true artist – and a gentleman. 

Before the gig, we briefly explored the area, finding a nice Indian restaurant with a pretty extensive vegan menu (and a huge vegetarian one). There was a vegetarian/vegan cafe opposite too. The whole area was packed with bars and cafes, and had a good atmosphere. We plan to return when next in Berlin. 

During and after the gig, we met a bunch of nice people, with whom we enjoyed some decent beer. 

A couple of short video clips from the evening.
