Hopfengrund - Barrel aged Wit

A white wasteland, freezing cold and strangely enough, at the same time inviting... maybe it's the blinding sun with its deceptively warm shine pinned on azure depths, but one thing is certain: all this numerous folk around isn't there for you. Rather they avoid each other consciously, while you give them exactly the same treatment. At times you'll be stuck, total strangers in pairs on a chairlift or in uncomfortably close packed groups in a swaying cabin, where superficial conversations might break the quiet truce, might, but there's only so much one can talk about weather. We can't wait to split paths again, leaving thin traces behind as the only mark that we have been together, for that one short time.

What's then to do at the end of the day, if not to have a quiet drink back at the lodge, recounting the trajectories and planning more of the same, taking pleasure from the perfumed Stiegl Columbus 1492 pale ale, arguably the best Austrian supermarket beer, throwing hops over the wave of fatigue and preparing you for another tomorrow in the immaculate loneliness?
