Rostock Brewery for Beer Lovers by starship
We didn't get to visit the Rostock Brewery but I wish we had because I thought Rostock Beer was pretty darn good! Rostock master brewers follow a recipe which has been around since Rostock was an important Hanseatic city. How barley, hops and water are transformed into a great beer in 4 weeks or less is amazing. If you're wondering how this evolution takes place, treat yourself to a guided tour of the brewery to learn about the secrets of beer production. Though the recipe has been around for ages, today's beer is the product of modernized machinery and technique which yields Rostocker Beer at the rate of 50,000 bottles per hour!!!. BUT, sorry. If you're under 18 years old, you'll have to wait for your chance to see this process and taste the resulting amber-colored brew. For "adults" there is a tasty reward at the end of the tour!!Our ship put on a wonderful "Biergarten" before we left Warnemuende and you guessed it, the beer of choice was Rostocker and we brought home several souvenir glass mugs.
