Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteor, Alsace
France
Hello List,
I have a slightly off topic story and question
here:
My parents were emptying their attic and told me
to come over to go through my "junk". As I was going through I came across
some 0.25 liter beer glasses from a trip to France I took when I was 15. I had
enjoyed the bar and wanted a small memento, thus the glasses were purchased.
At the time I had no clue about meteorites/meteorite history, so my purchase
had nothing to do with my current interest in this field.
The glasses say METEOR on them. I'm not sure
if it the name of the Pub or a local beer. Is anyone familiar with the
"Meteor" Pub/Restaurant or "Meteor" beer in Alsace France?
I figured that since the Ensisheim Show was
there, some of you - (excuse me) MOST of you may know this Pub. Is there
any "meteor" history to it? The imprint on the glass reads "METEOR" "La
biere du village de Hochfelden" "ALSACE"
Thanks,
Dave
