It is true. We left beer on the table. The Firkin was a pale ale and the "special" quality was extra hoppiness. I like pale ale but last night it was a bit too much! The bartender was finally pouring free pints for people who actually like the beer. Normally there's barely enough to go around but a lot of people passed on seconds or even firsts. The two guys next to us who had been thriving on happy hour prices all evening left as soon as the Firkin was tapped and didn't even stick around for their free beer. I knew why once I tasted mine. Oh well, we had good seats, got to hang out, and the Firkin gave a wonderful Shamu splash all over the bar. All this too cool fun was followed by more Robot Chicken so it goes to show you can't ever hide from your inner geek.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
