There was time for a bit of sightseeing before the Noon Curry-Heute Rendezvous with Howard.
After a very good Curry we jumped on a Bus and caught up with The Chaps and Chapattis at the Bayerische Löwe. The Hausbier (Vollbier) as it was being called today, felt like the best choice. [Stan.TC] had a plan, we would go to the Andorfer Weiss Brewery.
There was a Bus up the Hill to Renweg outside Passau, [Stan.TC] had already walked up the Hill and down again in the interest of ensuring a purposeful journey. He and Craig did the walk, the rest took the Bus. The Keller Hell was unfiltered, gassy and slightly sweet. Craig and [Stan.TC] arrived in a slightly sweaty condition, they required Refreshment. Whilst we savoured the Bier, Lord Clive was able to play us a sequence from a Radio Broadcast featuring a Physics Contemporary of, and for once I shall revert to his Sunday name, Dr Stan. His reaction was choice.
The Rain was approaching, we took a large table indoors and moved on to the Weizen. This had Big Bananas, just how good would the Weizen Bock be? Sensibly we tried the Bock last, it was very quaffable, dangerous. The Best Bier in Passau, so far. Time to go.
Jonathan had worked out that if we continued on the Bus Route which brought us here, it would take us on its Circular Route to the Hacklberg Brewery, it did. Though some people audibly did not trust his judgement. Why? What research had others done?
The Hacklberg Brauhaus is a stunning Building, though there is a sense of juxtaposition in styles. The Brewery has been built incorporating an Old Wall of some significance.
On entering the seemingly empty cavernous premises I was given the strangest of looks. Did I have a reservation? On asking for a large table I was taken to a side room, in semi-darkness. The light was switched on, the Bier was ordered. Festbier!
The Festbier proved sufficient for Hector, another worthy offering. Some moved on to try the Weizen and the Dunkels, they even ordered food. Significantly, Lord Clive and Howard did not, Curry-Heute was calling.
Others customers drifted in and out, the place was certainly under-utilised. We were a few minutes by Bus from the Town Centre yet the people were not coming. This was a splendid outlet and served far better Bier than on offer in the Centre.
After the Comedy Curry-Heute there was insufficient time to go back to Town, those who can stay our after 20.00 regrouped at the Alten Brauhaus near the Hotel. Neil, Jonathan, Howard, Clive and Hector had the place to ourselves. Who was last out?
Passau is a quiet place on a Sunday evening.
