From Wayne Theuer:

 

 

Hi all,

Just a few notes on beer.  I had a Rogue Buckwheat Ale and thought it was good. I liked the Lobkowiczky line: Knight,Prince & Baron. The Lev Lion was good. The downer was the Summit Xmas Ale, it is bad. I did think the Summit EPA was different and finished maltier which was positive. Anybody else have any thoughts on these beers??

From Ken Vossen:

 

 

Just got back from a quick trip to Germany.  Didn’t have time to sample very many beers in and around Cologne nor did I manage to purchase anything new or unusual.  So I guess you will all have to abuse me when you see me next.   The good news is that there is plenty of beer left in Germany for the club’s next European Pub Crawl!!
