It was the first time that we had seen a really big old town and the first time that we had seen historic half timber homes and buildings. I especially love the "stepped" ones, as seen…leaky-20 in # blurtphoto • 3 yr. ago • 4 min readSpring Blonds and BrownsFor this post I'm going to showcase a few beers that I've tried over the past few weeks, starting with my favorite of the lot, Sultana Gold Style: Blond Ale Abv: 5% IBU: 15 SRM: 3 This was my first time trying the beer and I was quite impressed by its fresh taste and crisp mouthfeel.

We headed there early in the morning on day two of our trip to the region. This was a while ago now, back in late June of 2022, when we were still living in Europe.
