Breaking with the traditional Lattice approach of solving problems through massively parallel computer simulations, we review the beergardens of Regensburg in a more experimental spirit. Risking life and limb, we bicycle all throughout Regensburg and its surroundings to sample the beer, the food, and the atmosphere of those establishments sporting an outdoor area for their pa- trons. It is our aim that this review acts as an informative guide for the attendees of the 25th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory in their travels in and around the city of Re- gensburg.

And if you thought of skipping the conference this year, we hope that this little glimpse of what else Regensburg has to offer helps to change your mind. We are not reviewing all of Regensburg in this guide.
