Seems like I am always here when I should be at work.

* puts on a pot of coffee for anyone who needs it

It is always too early or too late for drinking, but I like it that this bar is always open. Tonight I feel like some choclate. Perhaps I should look for a coffee shop instead of a bar.

Yeah, try the coffee shops in the Netherlands

Coffee sounds great, I'll take one cup, too! No milk, no sugar! Just the pure black soul of coffee, please!

What illegal stuff? Coffee shops? They are perfectly legitamate business, man ... At least in Netherlands.

Besides what's wrong with a few joints

I didn't know coffee shops were illegal anywhere. Now I was curious but afraid to ask in case a tank ran over me. But I think SGSW has answered my questions.

AFAIK the possesion and use of all kinds of drugs is prohibited here in Germany. Therefore the dutch form of coffee shops is also forbidden in Germany. And since this the german corner (on a danish forum - i know), please no discussions about drugs here. Hope you understand that!

You´re not right. Selling, buying and possesion of drugs is illegal in Germany. But there is no law against using it (ok, how can you use it without buying or possesing it, but that´s another discussion).

But I understand your point of view: No discussion about illegal stuff in a public forum - I think you´re right about that.

@SGSW
Thanks for the coffee, is it "Fair-Trade"?

I don't know, what are you trading it for? A blind date or a Homebrew beer?

Pater Alf · Post by **Pater Alf** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 3:34

A homebrew beer always sounds good

.

I can´t believe it: Another person awake and hanging around in the "German International Bar" in the middle of the Night.

Feel free to take a beer on my account.

Cheers!

I want köstritzer !!! (best beer ever:D)

SGSW · Post by **SGSW** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 20:08

Never tried it before is it Aus Bayern? or from which region is it?

Where can I get in real life?

mariesa · Post by **mariesa** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 20:22

wikipedia says: The Köstritzer brewery has been owned by the Bitburger Brauerei since 1991. It is located in Bad Köstritz, which is close to Gera in Thuringia. The brewery was founded in 1543 and it is one of the oldest producers of Schwarzbier (black beer) in Germany. One of the most famous drinkers of Köstritzer Schwarzbier was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The total output of the brewery increased from 145.000 hl in 1991 to 910.000 hl in 2004.

and I love it

Forgive my Geography ignorance but can you pinpiont Thuringia for me, please?

North? South? Major city near it? etc.

Tank · Post by **Tank** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 0:26

Biggest city and capital is Erfurt. I would guess about 300km distance to Berlin. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuringia

So here I am again in the middle of the night. I take a beer, but no Köstritzer (drank a bit to much of it during my university-time). Instead I´ll take a Jever from good old Friesland.

Thanks for ther information Tank, maybe I sould go to the next OktoberFest to give it a try.

Just let me check google to find out when it is. BTW are there going to be any World Cup games there in Thuringia

Just to make sure

... You do know what a dutch coffeeshop is right? It seemed on your last post as if you didn't...
They are illegal in pretty much every other country in the world. Although regular coffeeshops are great. There is nothing like stepping into a store filled with fresh coffee, and taking a deep breath through you nose.
If you did that in Holland and then went to Denmark for example, you could get arrested.... HINT.
