Hamburg!

Hello friends!

So I went to Hamburg over a long weekend with my "crew", we always go on a guy trip every year. 
6 guys, lots of beer, food, funny subject and just a awesome awesome time! Real quality guy time!

First stop was Brauhaus Joh. Albrecht.
A really nice weissbier brewed at the pub just behind the bar. Probably the best beer during the entire trip.. We stopped by here 2 times during 3 days for a few beers every time... Sooo good!


And for food I had a schnitzel with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and beer gravy.
Was really tasty but the schnitzel was not flattened as much as it should have been. Still tasty but not the best schnitzel ever... But the beers made up for it!


At dinner we stopped by another Brauhaus with real hamburgers from Hamburg. So we had to try em out. With horseradish dressing. Perfectly made with really nice bread and nice potato slices. But that burger! Yummy! And perfectly medium in the middle!




And they had a nice tasting tray of their own beers we had to try... Also a few beers on the side ;)
The beers were really nice, except the "rotbeer" (redbeer), tasted like water...


And of course then we had some drunken food.. We were going for döner kebab but ended up at KFC... And it wasn't even my suggestion! :D 
Fried chicken always tasty!


Second day for lunch we went to "Block Haus" in the Harbour, Europes second largest harbor. Were they also make their own beer.
Also here I had Schnitzel and the beer was ok, nothing amazing but still good (Just nog German good)

Schnitzel was over expectations. Looked so plain but was really good!


Last night we went to a place called "Old Commercial Room"
and they had "The biggest Eisbein in Hamburg" on their menu... 1500grams!! (With lard and bone though)
But even with bone as you can see, the thing was huge, bigger than my lower arm!!! And served with sauerkraut, mashed peas and some boiled potatoes.
It did not look appetizing with all the jiggly fat on the outside but damn did it taste good. Really succulent pork that had been cooked at low temp for a long time. Meat just melted and was really good! 


And as you can see I finished all! (Except potatoes)


And after we cooled down with some clubbing and then shots on fire!

All in all Hamburg was really nice, good beer, good food and a real nice city center with a lot of shops and nice cars, parks. Will definitely go there again (Maybe this summer even!) Really fell in love with the place!

//Stay full my friends!
