And, of course, you all know it's the 496th anniversary of the Rheinheitsgebot, Bavarian beer quality, law today. Narly 500 years of good beer.

If it were not for a little meeting in Paris later this week I'd probably be in Bamberg or Munich today, but I can wait.

We'll have to really blow it out for the 500th!

I shall be somewhere in Bayern. I'm tempted to enquire if Bamberg or Munich are planning something special

Munich? The Munich Reinheitsgebot dates from 1487. The anniversary was a long time ago:
