Last night we headed on over to ‘Delirium’, a bar claiming to have 2004 beers from around the world. We go in and because it was so empty I grew a bit skeptical, but we sat down at the bar — asked for the menu. The menu they gave was at least 20 pages long or so, but they dedicated a page to a beer. Then we thought that maybe at one point they had 2004 beers in the place. It all seemed odd.
Then, just for kicks I asked if they had any Canadian beer. That’s when I found out that we were on the wrong floor. D’oh! This floor had 20 or so taps, the basement had fewer taps, many more bottles. It was almost packed down there.
I continued my quest for a Canadian beer though, and eventually figured out that they had Canadian. Asked for it (I KNOW) and the guy said it would be 10 euros for a bottle. AHAHA. Never in my life would I have expected to see a bottle of Canadian for $16.00 (CAD). I did not buy it.
The basement menu was significantly longer than the one on the first floor. It looked very long. Ah, what else — there was 1L of some beer for 31 Euros, which was pretty insane.
Shawn, I think you must visit Delirium.
On an unrelated note, there’s 4 Japanese dudes in this dorm room who seem to have no notion of the concept of being quiet while others sleep. Sucks to all the people out there who put things in plastic bags or those vacuum bags and have to rifle through them between 8:00 and 9:30. Zippers are bad too, but what can you do about those.
Hah I totally didn’t hear that, I only heard them talking, and apart from that I thought they were pretty quiet, but I guess I was wrong! Being tired kind of makes you sleep through things I guess.
The bar was quite cool, although I wish I could have been more in the mood.
Go 8 percent seeming to be an average percentage for a beer on tap, and it tasting good!
Hi Ben, sounds like all in all your having a good time. Sounds really expensive over there but the experience will hopefully outweight the costs. Were all enjoying your comenntory’s and pictures. Have fun and be safe
Love Gramma & Grampa
Hi Ben, Hope you’re having a good time! It sounds pretty darn expensive but with hope, the experience will be worth the what it cost. Were enjoying your stories and pictures. Have a fun time and stay safe!
Love Grampa and Gramma
BENWAHHHHHH.. You should’ve bought the Canadian. I wonder what those taste like when you pay $16. Sounds like a fun time. Keep on flickring!
@grandparents – Yes, quite expensive … IF YOU BUY CANADIAN. The hostel I am staying at now, for instance is selling 500mL of a pretty good german beer for 1 euro/1.60 CAD. So there are definitely deals to be found.
@jordan – All the extra time it gets to sit in the bottle probably makes it like drinking liquified gold.
