The idea was better than the actual event. Unfortunately, our guide had fallen ill, which of course can happen. We did not get a replacement but were brought together with another group... which neither and certainly did not like the others. A group of 50 men and a group of girls all under 30. It went to 3 different bars... which were thought to be demolished tomorrow. Rustic.. Yes, we had expected that and were looking forward to it, it would also have suited such a wonderful city as Dresden... but unfortunately..

Thank you so much for the great beer tasting and the interesting city tour through Neustadt. We have learned a lot about lower and top-fermented beer, got to know new, original (beer) tastes in Dresden and, as a Dresdner, we have learned a lot of new things from the Neustädter scene. Thank you again for the great evening the two from Dresden and the two from Limbach. By the way, we actually stuck in Neustadt and continued testing until morning, including other drinks.
