The holidays are over. The Editourmobil is waiting in the Ukraine for us to pick it up. The two of us, Waldemar Schmitke, co-driver, and Alexander Büchler make up the third team on this, the final stage of our Go to Brau Beviale Tour. The first major challenge is on the

The summer break is well and truly over – And the Go to Brau Beviale blog is up and running again The third interview team is made up of Alexander Büchler and Waldemar Schmitke, who, as we speak, have just arrived in Dnipropetrovsk. In the course of their 14 day tour,
