Still far away but definitely a trip to look forward to! My kids still rave about their NY visit

better than AMS: view, power outlets along the window, WiFi worked well, f&b offering (at least it looked kind of OK ... had only water though)
worse tha AMS: toilets outside and in a disgusting state that would be an embarrassment to public toilets at any subway station or football stadium (on the „premium lounge“ floor, really?) — the toilets alone ruin it, I guess
Luckily no crowds of people who tried to drink their money’s worth when I was there, just a few individuals making regular trips to the bar ...
Not terrible terrible, but nothing to really look forward to. Add the dump of an airport MAN is to the equation, and I am happy to wait another decade before I have to go back to MAN.

After my visit to the MAN lounge, I am torn:

Everyone knows English Beer is amongst the best in the World but the good stuff is not on offer at ‘Aspire’ MAN
’Aspire’ MAN deals strictly in quantity over quality..... which goes perfectly with the rest of the airport...

I consider myself more than fortunate that most of my travel is from or via MUC.
And no comment on English beer.
Then again, LH, Germany’s flag carrier, which should bring great beer to the world, does not serve beer at all, only Warsteiner. But I digress...

We must do a Pub crawl of Real Ale establishments if we can ever entice you back to U.K. after this trip.

I lived in the Queen’s own country for a while many many moons ago, so I know about the outstanding quality of some of the beers there. But it can’t hurt to verify by an empirical first-hand (mouth?) investigation that my memory doesn’t fail me.

If a triangle BRU-UK-MUC is being planned, count me in ^
At least in BRU you're required to pour your own beer, it immediately shows who are the true professional drinkers
