Wednesday, 25 March 2008: Berg and Ehingen/Donau
Yesterday: Bamberg to Biberach
We didn't plan on leaving Biberach and starting today's brewery tours until 11:00am, so Choo and I spent the morning wandering around town and checking out the view from the Weisser Turm.

"Spring, he says." Choo was led to expect nicer weather than we experienced this week.
A half-hour bus ride got us to Berg. We passed the Warthausen malthouse along the way. There used to be a brewery here, but no more.

Brauerei Berg is a bigger brewery than I expected, in a very small town near the Danube River. The beers were pretty good, and the Maultaschen were excellent.

Brauerei Rößle in Ehingen/Donau is a small brewery in a bigger town, and it's just three bus stops away from Berg.

The brewer, the 7th-generation of the family that has owned the brewery since 1833, happened to be there, and he gave us a quick tour. It's an 80-hectoliter brewhouse producing 3000 hl per year, 80% of which is sold for distribution.

They had three very tasty beers on tap today:
The plan was to catch a bus at Ehingen Bahnhof and head back to Biberach, but nature called us instead to the nearby Brauerei Schwert, which I had visited last year.
And at the end of the night, we had a glass of Zwiefalter Pils with our fajitas at El Poco Loco in Biberach.
Tomorrow: Neu-Ulm, Ulm, and Freising
