Beer – A User’s Manual. With Jaroslav Rudiš and Sven Regener
Author Jaroslav Rudiš is not only an expert in traveling by train, as proven in his bestseller, “Travelling by Train, a User’s Manual”. The Bohemian native is also a passionate beer drinker. In A User’s Manual for Beer, he visits monasteries and breweries, beer gardens and pubs. His travels take him to places such as Pilsen, Budweis and Bamberg, the holy beer triangle of Central Europe, but also to a watering hole in Bochum for what’s known locally as a “Pilsken”. This evening, he meets Sven Regener (“Berlin Blues”, “Neue Vahr Süd”, etc.), who came up with one of the best beer couplets in musical history: “Kaffee und Karin, Birgit und Bier” [“Coffee and Karin, Birgit and beer”] and, with Kristall-Rainer, created the first literary cult figure to reference kristallweizen (filtered wheat beer). Together they will chat, ponder, and debate the unifying power of beer drinking as well as myths and facts about the golden brew. It promises to be nourishing, surprising and fun! Cheers!
