491c. Tue 2/10/18: Beerhouse Brewery, Funchal, Portugal

Beer: Madeira Beerhouse Weissbeer ?%

Second visit of the holidays. Christine didn't want to eat so we got a quick taxi
down to the front and stopped here for a couple of drinks. I went for the inhouse-brewed Weissbeer this time and it was okay. I couldn't find anywhere its ABV, sorry, but I guess it's 4%. They brew it right in the bar/restaurant as you can see from the pics of the bright shiny mash tun and fermenting vessels.


Puts my own home brew equipment in a bad light (big saucepan and a plastic bucket). We got served the free samples of the Coral Stout again, have they got a surplus to get rid of? They were selling the cute tiny glasses they serve the samples in at €2.50 a pop - I bought two and may use them to serve a shot of whisky instead. On the way back up the hill to our hotel we pass the Madeira Casino. A rather strange building that looks very 70s sci-fi. I always call it the "Logan's Run" temple where everyone who reaches 30 goes to die.
