Gaststätte Spitalgarten RegensburgJust over the bridge is the Spital brewery. They have a beer garden right next to the river (the oldest in Regensburg). Whoopee! We did glance at the Würstkuche at the other end of the bridge, but it was packed. I'm glad it was. Spital wasn't only far quieter, but far more local. Except for a group of crop-haired GIs. But they were sitting well away from us.

The first official beer of the tour: Spital Dunkles. Steve has a litre: good man. Wimpy me has just a half (litre). I'm still in a pre-notes situation here. Quite like a Czech dartk lager is how I remember it. So malty and with a discrete hop presence. We are just outside Franconia, which explains the lack of hops. Hops in a Dunkles? That isn't a mistake. Franconian Dunkles doesn't stint on hops. Their most endearing feature is their bitterness.

It has space for 750 drinkers outside and room for another 200 inside, which makes it fairly modest by Bavarian standards. It's a really beautiful spot. There's nothing quite like drinking under mature trees next to a flowing water.

The bottled selection includes Spital Pils, St. Katharinen Spezial, Spital Weizen, Spital-Dunkel and (in season) Spital Mai-Bock.

It´s also a small hotel with 9 rooms.

Brauereigaststätte Kneitinger, Regensburg interiorBrewery tap of the Kneitinger brewery. Behind the entrance is a long drinking corridor with stand-up tables at the front and beergarden like seating at the rear.

I took my place, slightly uneasily, in the lengthy drinking corridor. Those accustomed to northern multiroom pubs would feel right at home with the layout: self-contained rooms off a corridor with a servery. After some confusion with the waitress (it was my first day, it takes time for my rusty German to sparkle), I had a Dunkles in my hand. I forgot to mention that the glass roof over part of the drinking corridor had turned it into a greenhouse. Sweating cobs. I was sweating cobs.

Standing up, sweating and fretting over my watch (10 minutes left to get back to the bus) I wasn't in the mood for anything but knocking it back. It hit the spot. And certainly wasn't nasty. Not bad. Again, quite like a Czech dark lager. Malty. A bit sweet. Two minutes to walk to the bus? The Kneittinger goes down easily in eight. Perfect for arriving back at the bus in time. Where the hell is everyone else?

A brewpub in the centre of town owned by Brau Holding (Paulaner/Heneken). It´s housed in the former coach house of the palace of the Fürst von Thurn und Taxis. Until 1997, Thurn und Taxis ran an industrial-strength brewery, which was flogged off to Paulaner (and promptly closed). In its place, this brewpub has appeared. Better than nothing, I suppose.
