We did not spend as much time in Germany as I would like, but we did manage to visit Berlin, Munich and Dresden.

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/camera-cyclist/55103878778/" title="Mommsenstraße : Mommsen-Eck"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55103878778_e473fb0ed1_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Mommsenstraße : Mommsen-Eck" /></a></p>

<p>After an afternoon’s sightseeing on bicycles, our aesthetic overload brought on the urge for a beer. Luckily, we were only a short distance from Mommsen-Eck on the corner of Mommsenstraße and Wilmersdorfer Straße, a fine tavern also known as the Haus der 100 Bier. Named in honour of the German composer Paul Hindemith, the square in front of the pub was designated Hindemithplatz in 1995. Erected in 1903-4, the St.-Georg-Brunnen monument once stood in the Bayernhof at Potsdamer Platz but the remains were moved here when war-damaged buildings were demolished. The large statue of Saint George which stood between the pillars was apparently stolen after the war. The bronze was possibly traded and melted down.<br />
<br />
It was not simply the case that the Mommsen-Eck had a great choice of beer, a few steps into the place and it was love at first sight. For my money, this is exactly how a Berlin pub should be. Wood panelling, interesting decor and furnishings, and simply a general look and ambience that makes for a congenial drinking environment. I wanted to buy an apartment next door just so I could have this as my local!<br />
<br />
Mommsen-Eck was an obvious name for a tavern in Mommsenstraße as the tavern opened shortly after the death of Professor Theodor Mommsen in 1903. The historian, jurist, journalist, politician and archaeologist was Professor of Roman History at the University of Berlin in the mid-19th century. Widely regarded as one of the greatest classicists of the period, he was also a prominent politician. Theodor Mommsen received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902, the year before he died aged 85.<br />
<br />
I suspect that there more than 100 beers on offer at Mommsen-Eck. Moreover, they are sourced from around the world. La Goddess du Vélo opted for something quite exotic - well, it was the first time she had ordered a beer from Hawaii. The Fire Rock American Pale Ale by Kona Brewing Co. proved to be a good choice - a citrus-floral hop aroma is delivered by Galena, Cascade &amp; Mt.Hood hops and the beer has a nice crisp finish.<br />
<br />
I ordered from the 15 beers on tap. Long odds but I won the lottery as the Kloster Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel was simply magnificent and easily one of the best beers I have had the pleasure to drink. The Bavarian Bock is plummy in colour and seems to be full of fruit on the palate, combining with a velvety chocolate character but with enough hops to deliver a lovely finish. At 7.0% this is a Bavarian version of a Belgian Christmas Ale. So, if you visit the Haus der 100 Bier I recommend that you forget the other 99 and invest everything in the Kloster Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel which pays out a massive dividend.<br />

<p>She turns just enough to let the light find her cheek, not enough to invite it. The moment stays unfinished.<br />
<br />
Some expressions are not performances.<br />
They’re pauses.</p>
