Beer Travel is Seeing the World One Pint at a Time...

Latest One Pint at a Time
"Die WM in Deutschland"
News & More...
Recent Trip: Portland - IMAGES | BLOG
Die WM in Deutschland” is the latest episode of One Pint at a Time.

For two years, we’d been dreaming of watching the world's greatest sporting event while in Germany. Arriving the last day of group play for both the United States and Germany, we stayed through the quarterfinal stage of the World Cup.

This trip will always hold a special place for us. Watching Germany demolish both England and Argentina, the intensity of the matches, and the joys of the celebrations were all absolutely remarkable. But what we’ll remember most is that we spent these great beer travel moments with friends.

So enjoy our latest beer adventures in Germany...

Recent Beer Finds
Visit their websiteBayerischer Bahnhof Gosebrauerei , Leipzig, Germany [July 2010, beer & food] Being one of the few Gose breweries in the world is reason enough to stop at Bayerischer Bahnhof. Adding in a great beer garden, good food and a wonderful Schwarzbier makes the Leipzig brewery a must stop in Eastern Germany.

Visit their websiteU Medvídků , Prague, Czech Republic [June/July 2010, beer, food & lodging] Located in Prague's Old Town, U Medvídků is a triple threat. A hotel, a Budvar tap serving five types of the famous South Bohemia brew plus a brewpub employing traditional brewing techniques. A great place to set up camp in Prague.

thebeergeek.com is about beer travel.

beer travel [ bir tra-vəl ] experiencing the diversity of beer throughout the world by drinking it at its source.

We travel the world looking for the next great beer experience. While we do include visiting the sites and landmarks of the places we visit, finding that next great beer experience is the real focus of our travels. Visiting pubs, breweries, craft breweries and brewpubs; this is the essence of being a beer traveler.

The rewards of beer travel can vary; sometimes we are rewarded with a real turkey, but other times, the reward is magical. Most of the time, we enjoy a good pint of beer and hopefully some good craic.

We are not trying to tell you where to visit or what beers to drink; rather we hope to inspire you to look for your own beer adventures.

So, pour yourself a pint and enjoy your visit to our site.

beergeekTV is a natural extension of our enjoyment of beer travel and desire to tell people about travel and good beer. Visit the beergeekTV page to watch us travel, explore and enjoy good beer.

Who is thebeergeek.com?
thebeergeek.com is a collaboration between Chris Nelson and his wife, best friend and fellow beer lover Merideth Canham-Nelson. Their passion for beer is evidenced by the list of breweries visited.

The Year in Beer
In 2008, Chris and Merideth embarked on the Year in Beer, a beer geeks dream year of travel. Traveling to a major beer event or destination every month, their journeys took them to the beer capitals of North America and Europe. Whether at a pub, in a beer hall or at a festival, they enjoyed the local brew, culture and made many new friends.

Merideth Canham-Nelson’s appreciation of beer developed in 1992 while working at a multi-tap pub in Oakland. She wanted to be knowledgeable about the beer she was serving and the best way to do it was to visit the breweries themselves. Merideth and her husband Chris now have frequent adventures throughout North America and Europe discovering great beer and meeting interesting people.  When she is not traveling, Merideth works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Chris Nelson is a full-time house-husband with his own web design business whose life is focused around everything beer; a wardrobe filled with beer t-shirts; a home office dedicated to beer memorabilia and two dachshunds named Porter and Stout. In 2007, out of 7,800 applicants from 31 countries, he was a final four candidate for Four Points by Sheraton’s coveted position of Chief Beer Officer.
