Biff by Glen Humphries
Libby and Micki are back in Europe, this time touring Germany and Austria. Following the call of beer, pretzels, and The Sound of Music, they start off in Berlin, fly to Munich, and then brave the Autobahn through Bavaria and Austria. They stay with Libby's beloved German mother, hearing her vivid first-hand accounts of life as a child refugee after WI and then as an adult in the police state of East Germany. Their stay--and their story--weave back and forth between East and West, between past and present, in a fascinating historical overview. In Bavaria they delve into the life of King Ludwig I (the crazy king who might have been murdered) and battle the hordes at his fairy tale castle. In Austria they explore the glorious landscape celebrated in one of the most famous movies of all time. And through it all, despite wilting heat, incessant rain, their typical travel confusion, and recurring sleep deprivation, they get a rich taste of local life and a heaping helping of Gem tlichkeit.
Glen Humphries is a winner of the AIBA Beer Writing award, which he won for his blog Beer Is Your Friend (which can be found at beerisyourfriend.org). He's also a full-time journalist for the Illawarra Mercury, where he writes about transport - and beer whenever he gets the chance. He really likes beer but is totally cool if you don't. He's not going to hassle you about that or anything. Because beer's supposed to be fun. What's the point of getting all worked up about it?
