New passport arrived yesterday, so that's a 17 day turnaround, which I was very pleased with. Looking at the time it too to depart Germany I think it would have been 3-4 days quicker had I not sent it on a Friday.

Okay the first Advent calendar beer is the De Meteoor Kessemus a Blonde/Golden at 7.5%. They seem like a relatively new brewery from the Netherlands. @benschopelroy76.bsky.social do you know this brewery?

A very cool stripey head gull I saw today in Landshut. I think it's simply a Black Headed Gull but an adolescent whose markings are not fully formed.

Okay Christmas market no:2 Landshut.
I finally found it, when I put my thinking cap on, it's where I thought it might be Ringelstecherwiese, the large meadow area between old town and Isar. Okay let's have a Glühwein. Cheers all

Great skies in Landshut today.
Re: the beer, Wittmann I usually think a bit of a mid table brewery, okay but rarely excite. However I'm drinking the Winterbier & it's good.
I think the Christmas market must be somewhere else in town, the few stalls in the centre were a disappointment.

No prizes for guessing where we are now 🤣, one of our current favourite bars, this and Otto, Deggendorf and Wirsthaus zum Geiss, Straubing, we'll be back there again next week.

Not a great photo but unusually the sign caught my attention more than the beer 🤣 so I focused on that. Anyway another great bar in Freising that we've been to a couple of times now, but this is the first visit for a couple of years. Furtnerbräu is handily placed between Augustiner and Sammamera

Passport approved and will soon be heading back 🥳.
However it dawned on me that when it runs out, woah 😳 that's it 😳.I'll officially be retired or very nearly. Can't deny I had a little tear in my eye.
As Sandy Denny once sang - Who Knows Where The Time Goes. Beautiful song.

Okay, just been thinking and realised that we are probably going to hit quite a few Christmas Markets this year in Bayern. So No:1 Augsburg

Train beer and for an alcoholfrei beer it's a decent offering. I would be quite happy being the designated driver if this was an option. Up there with the Augustiner alcoholfrei offering.
