We made a day trip to Bremen, specifically because I wanted to visit the Beck's brewery. My wife…read moreisn't a beer fan, she was feeling under the weather at the start of the day, but since she's a trooper, she tagged along. She thought she would be bored. She wasn't. A special shout out to our guide, Falco, who did a fantastic job. The tour started with a history of Beck's beer, which largely due to Falco's enthusiasm and humor, was very enjoyable. Personally, I found the history to be very interesting -- Beck's was my favorite beer for years -- but I could understand how non-beer fans might not find it as interesting. Next, we spent some time understanding how beer is brewed, and again, Falco did a great job. Finally, the best part of the tour, we sampled the product. Beck's was always my favorite beer. Until it wasn't. When production was moved to the US (St. Louis), the taste changed. I didn't like it. I stopped buying it. I always suspected the recipe might be exactly the same, but the the ingredients are different. And sure enough, the culprit to the change in the flavor seems to be the water. In Germany, Beck's taps into an isolated glacier and uses pure meltwater. In the US, muddy Mississippi River water is used. I noticed the change from the first sip of that American brewed fare. I am not alone. Please, AB In-Bev, find a better water source if you want to produce in the US. Otherwise, import from Germany. Again. I've done tours of the Heineken brewery in Amsterdam, the Kirin brewery in Japan, and the Miller brewery in Milwaukee. The Beck's tour was, hands down, the best. Not only was Falco funny and engaging and animated -- and educational! -- he made everyone feel welcome. Instead of giving us a small glass of beer then ushering us out as soon as possible (as was done in those other breweries), we were told to stay and sample as many beers as we wanted. We spent about an hour and a half in the Beck's pub, and had a wonderful time. Even my wife, the non beer drinker, found some product to her liking (the shandy, in particular). After we left, she told me she was happy she didn't change her mind and stay at the hotel. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. Best of all, the Beck's we sampled at the brewery (and at various restaurants in town), was as I remembered. Crisp, simple, dry, a bit bitter. The way I like beer. If you are in (or near) Bremen, I highly recommend the tour! Great job, Falco!

They had my reservation (he referenced a sheet) but after I left the restaurant (after dining), I received an email asking why I didn't show up for my reservation. So perhaps they aren't super organized. After I sat down, I ordered beer and it came. Then I sat there for an uncomfortably long time without anyone coming to see if I wanted to order food. Someone finally came to take my order. A table that was seated after me was able to order and get their food before I could even place my order. When the staff was present, the service was great, but it took me a long time to get through this meal and to get out due to all the waiting. Be ready for this if you choose to come here.

Being used to the craft breweries in the USA, I'd done my homework and reviewed the beers listed on Untappd. So I was surprised when I was asked, "Blonde or Red?" But I admire a brewery that limits itself to a couple beers only. The red very cloudy but very pleasant.

I went on the 65 minute English language brewery tour on a Saturday afternoon. Jürgen was our tour…read moreguide and he did a great job. In addition to other guests, there was a group of 12 guys who were on a bachelor party. I'm mentioning this because they were very disruptive but that's not Jürgen's fault and he did his best with the situation. There is a brewing room that you walk through with explanations of the different stages of the beer brewing process. In the back is a tasting room and most of the tour took place there. We all sat around a table while the guide poured and explained the beers. There appears to be a slideshow and we looked at some of the slides that identified the three beers we tried but I think because the slides were in German, we didn't see the full presentation. The tour was a nice diversion and although I have been on many brewery tours, I still learned something from this one, particularly about German beer.

Quite music, low lighting, friendly English speaking staff but a bit elusive as we came at the beginning of busy time so she was running around hoping others. The food-awesome! My husband had the schnitzel and loved it. We all had the escargot that was delicious. I had the local special (first one on the menu) that translates to eel. It was marinated or "cooked" like ceviche is made point is it's not fried/baked etc and more like sushi consistency with sour cream based salad on top and yummy fried potatoes. It's wasn't fishy and I loved it. It's he nearer dish in the pic. One app, one beer, water and entrees was 43.60euros. If we're back in Bremen we'd go back.
