I have subscribed forhe next three (and mut cancel 6 weeks before the end ofthe period, otherwise I'm in for another year), so I'll be watching to see if that trend continues.<br /><br />Rob, I have to admit, Meininger never really touched my radar till now. Given there seems to be so much going on, particularly in Hamburg and Berlin, not to mention what feels like a general shift, even in places like my former home of Münster (2 new breweries and now a specialist bottle shop and tasting room!), such a quarterly magazine can only ever scratch the surface.Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-69913005970175224652015-07-19T01:24:31.035+02:002015-07-19T01:24:31.035+02:00Meininger have been trying to make craft beer a th...Meininger have been trying to make craft beer a thing for absolutely ages – I assumed they already had a magazine. I suspect that, as in the UK, such magazines provide an extremely superficial and tendentious reflection of what is actually going on.

We ...Thanks for the write-up -- interesting stuff.<br /><br />We subscribed to a similar mag from Belgium for a bit but got frustrated at the lack of transparency re: advertising/advertorial/editorial. Buying ad-space shouldn't guarantee editorial coverage in a serious magazine -- it's the kind of thing we associate with those awful regional lifestyle publications you get in hotels and waiting rooms -- but, if it does, that should be absolutely clear. (But, funnily enough, we're told advertisers don't want that...)Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.com
