Rik Hull is a name every real Bill Haley fan will know.... and the reason Rik runs the billhaley.com website, dedicated to the great man and his Comets. But Rik is also a big fan of Switzerland and visited the Oberland in Summer 2006. Despite the usually excellent airline 'Swiss' cancelling his flight due to unforseen technical problems... as Rik puts it ' I thought there was trouble when 3 technicians were hammering beneath the planes wing!' An extra 'free' night in Zurich ensued. Rik is pictured here with Mum Joan and Dad Bas at favourite lunch spot Winteregg between Grutschalp and Murren.

Now in true Incrowd tradition, we're going to do something different... The Rugenbrau Brewery Open day with Rik!! And I missed it!!
 
 
 
Interlaken's bier which is found all over the Bernese Oberland, and in many an Incrowd car boot , rucksack or suitcase on the way back home!!!
 
 
 
Nice stuff!  That should get me a free sample.....crate!!!

To make great a bier... you need great ingredients!
 
Great hops.....
 
Great umm,  water.....
 
Great err, bottles.......
 
umm....
 
well...
 
err..

The hops are in the bag..... and the stuff on the plates isn't buffet food!
 
These are the ingredients that matter.... err...
 
dark malt... raisins... and an omelette, well I think it's an omelette!
 
Did I ever tell you I missed this event... free bier and I missed it!

Anyway add all the ingredients together... mix them up a bit.... and then get your bottles out  ( am I simplifying too much Rik?!!)

Perhaps you prefer it 'vom fass'.... well it's cheaper, so you can drink more! Especially when it's free (I can't believe I missed it!)

But whether you drink from a bottle or from a cask.... drink too much and you'll probably be like this chap below .... deciding to toot his flute for whoever wanted to listen. Nice shirt too! Rik reminds me the bier was free on the open day! And I missed it!!!

But not everyone is happy the guy below is saying
.. 'but surely you do coffee
 
or tea maybe'

So there... the Rugenbrau Brewery Open day 2006 with Rik Hull.... I was trying to think of a joke connecting Bill Haley with Rugenbrau.... but think I'd best leave it there before getting myself into trouble!  Thanks Rik... great tour!
