[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 35359, member: 487"] Nice cellar indeed - variety is always a great thing. One thing which I've noticed, which I see a lot of confusion about, is the name of the now discontinued (and all the CAO-distributed Dan tins are no longer available since Winterman's bought CAO) Hamborger (B)Veermaster. Despite the use of the unfortunate old German font on the tin label which makes what is actually a 'V' look like a 'B', it is absolutely and for sure 'Veermaster' ("Four Mast" in German; modern Ger. spelling: Viermaster). This is a reference to an old German sea shanty (sailor's work song), about working aboard a 'Four Mast Ship' from the city of Hamburg. See: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamborger_Veermaster.]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamborger_Veermaster.[/url] Charming. No beer involved (although perhaps there should be, given it is a German blender!). [/QUOTE]
