ah, this is not just any beer. critics consider it one of the world's best giving it 1st place in the dock be a category at this he is will be a rewards there in ohio said over brewers the world beer award really is the holy grail boy with edge. and since this dark beer is aged in old wine barrels from burgundy, the award for best beer is also a victory for france on an international level i called. and i've also assumed that the coastal town of ashley lay still ma'am, not far from pappy on the south. the france is better known for his beeches than it's brewing. a 1998 the capital. now brewery set up shop here, lego english and l. o. d ang, lamp you should have run the family business for 20 years. they go as brew mazda in a d. as managing director. since its founding, the annual be

a production has grown from 500 to more than 5000 tech to lead his own. i gather the name on whom our beers are stored for at least 18 months. sometimes even more than 6 years in the on the algebra one, this one got the price for best beer. it's aged for 36 months after we changed the barrels every 6 months because we want to enhance the flavor of the beer with the essence of the old wine barrels law. ah co founded idea of it grava. hm. ah, rumor sticks. i go less samples. the beer, every few weeks to check the quality and flavor. here at capital. now, it's a meticulous process from grain to fermentation to finished bear me this remark. the idea is to make a genuinely french beer. france to day is becoming more and more synonymous with fine beers. but 1st and foremost, it's a country of wine and this marriage makes our beer unique. oh, the dog b,

it carries the sonorous name. would h gong clue balloon. it's brewed with ry from the cell, donna region in the french perry. nice. the brewery works exclusively with organic regional produce tub, local restaurants, also appreciate cap, donna's occasional brewing. and here by now, bon, the result soccer saw restaurant with 2 missional stars, said the golden beer alongside a selection of exclusive wines. ah, did us our father, our head chef has been working with comp donna for 20 years. the beer is a local product and he uses only produce from the region and it has a very balanced taste but not too strong, but it has a very mild flavor cables. and i digger says from an adolescent mal the breweries, beer garden and farm store are now open and lay joel quite the crowd. many come to try the award winning beer. a small one is available for an impressive 15 euros.

one less sweet, but mild, a beer is absolutely delicious. when i want a good beer, i go to kept it off. i was given a well place to be the best pail, beer, best rye, be a best spirit, infuse beer, and now best dark beer. the past 4 years captain now has been showered with the woods than porter who to work as go with. we want to uphold our tradition of creativity and avant garde is them here for me. and i wonder, has your, i don't to uphold the quality. our customers enjoy so much joy to an air to continue this journey through flavor with them on his pre. there's all gone and donate in only one place you quantity of quantity. this ambitious family business from the south of france, proves that sometimes the best things come in small packages. in turkey, members of the l. g. b t q community find themselves confronted by more and more

restrictions from the governing authorities. for example, events like the pride parade was banned this past year. but there is one turkish american designer who is challenging the system with her flamboyant designs which put drag queens front and center. ah. so my perfect world is no religion, no skin tone, no gender, no perfect body types. if you have 5 arms, great. if you have 10 eyes on your but amazing. so i don't want anyone to be judge about how they look, or where their palm, turkish american designer it are, euro mezzo loo, is presenting her new collection tailored, especially for the queer community of his turnbull imaginative outfits. are the centerpiece of a show featuring poll dances, d j's,

and of course drag. what fascinates me about drag queens? is there many talents? i mean they work on nails, makeup, hair fashion performance. and i just love working with them because of their non restrictive nurse with me as well. and i feel like when i see my costumes on them, they take it to a whole different level. it are euro missouri. lou was introduced to the world of drag queens purely by chance. she was born and raised in the united states, while studying fashion design and chicago. she was invited to create costumes for a group of drag queens. her design started making waves, and she quickly made a name for herself in the same awe in her istanbul studio, the designer, also known by his stage name ada birth thing is preparing for today's fashion show . when the 2020, pandemic froze international travel,

she was left stranded in turkey's biggest city. so she decided to stay in the country and build the life here. oh, i feel like i needed a change. i mean, i lived in chicago all my life and i never wanted to move to new york or l a. i always knew that from the beginning. and i feel like the next best thing was stumble. and i feel like i like that every day's kind of been a venture and comes with as challenges. and i'm ok with that hotel and don't stop at designing costumes though. she even performs on stage herself under the title mother creature. so far she is designed over $200.00 costumes and creatures brought in istanbul. she can't give free rain to her creativity. the way she was accustomed to before i'm on the challenge is that i feel like i have here in turkey on is that sometimes

i feel restricted in america. i felt more comfortable going out in a creature or one of my garments and more freely. and now i feel like sometimes unsafe or uncomfortable. so and still china work out. ah, i can break that barrier, but i think it's going to take some time. night falls. in istanbul, the performers are getting ready to go on stage since 2018 it our euro, myself lou has been organizing performances with a quick community in turkey against all odds in 2020 to istanbul, pride, and all events planned for it would band. a lot of problems that people in the clear can me, a face in turkey is not being accepted. so especially during pride. we have a lot of problems trying to do. pride parades, very simple thing, but it keeps getting shut down. and turkish government restrictions on the only problem the communities facing since the corona pandemic. it are your m a z o lou

and many others have been struggling to find new places to express themselves or upon their make me had a really huge scene. but after to ponder, make of when the clubs were close, unfortunately we lost those areas and we lost our, ah, important places. i wish there will be a more place history of an open waiting thing. turkey might come to that after a while. again, it says curtains up the show tight hood magical birth is a spectacle for both eyes and is the design as fantastical. new collection goes down like a storm. so i believe for the future of the quick me in turkey is going to get better. it's kind of hard to say, has it keeps going forward and back, but i just need to hope that it's gonna get better and we're going to keep pushing forward as much as we can. the extraordinary creations of in europe mozilla glue,

create a wondrous world opened to people and preaches of all kinds. architects today are faced with a myriad of challenges when it comes to constructing new buildings. there's often a lack of raw materials, limited space in cities or complex building regulations. so it's often easier to just reuse buildings which already exist. and that is what one architectural firm in the czech republic is doing while using ordinary objects, like plastic chairs in brand new ways. what can we do with buildings that are past their prime, just demolish them? or keep them and transform them and breathe new life and then the way it architect andre, he big does we really believe to,

to keep as much as possible if the smart way or no history doesn't future saving old buildings has become a mission for the architect andre cubic and michael christoph, they founded their architecture firm in 2012, based in the not check here, about 200 kilometers south east of prague. this building is also in burne, know it was put up in 1992 and served as a car dealership. today, a check furniture company uses it as a show room, or they covered the facade with $900.00 of their plastic chairs that was inexpensive and energy efficient and became a kind of symbol for the company. inside the building was gutted and modernized. the furniture company displays its range of products in 3, partitioned off areas. this renovation was far more economical than putting up a whole new building. but for the architects that wasn't the decisive factor. all,

all, i believe, got that also to demolish the co, fresher buildings or something crazy, right? something, something unsustainable? the, because of our architectural approach, we saved this building. we saved all the material. you can see here, this building is now known as a symbol. it's something what may be nobody gonna demolish anymore. the architects have a team of over 50 people to work on their projects, most of which are in europe, among them on the were buildings such as one for this vineyard near is neu, mo, southern check. here. have also been working on the strawberry tower on a plan, 235 meters. what will be check? his tallest building is slated for completion in 2027. but redesigning older buildings remains close to their hearts. as

a civilization, we all are to build enough, i would say. and what i really like is to, to reflect on something existing to try to understand what the roster are economical, social, and environmental on the context of the, of the past and how to transform it. or how to, how to add something contemporary into it, buildings history and what that has to say about the time it was built is also meaningful. even when it comes to relatively unloved structures, like with north central bus station in its brutalised style. many people associated with a country socialist era. they have certain beauty and they are part of our history and just to demolish them are means that we re just skip this part of our history. and it's incorrect in my opinion, for lack of proper maintenance. the central bus terminal completed and 1988 had

deteriorated. the architects had used it themselves, the students in 2011, they decided to contact the owner. i felt very a shame that in for century in our reality could be important. public place. if i could very book condition, i'm happy that we help to improve it. they invested a total of $5000000.00 euros in the renovation. among the alterations they had, the roof supports painted white installed, new light fixtures, built a new passenger hall and reconfirm. it's a passenger walkways. so on the she beek. it's not an architectural masterpiece, but it building that benefits the city. i have to believe ethan ethan profession, lesson architect, that we have this certain power in our hands. and if you work properly, if you work successfully, it could help to change the society to something something maybe better. she big

and chris stuff show that there are creative ways to turn the old into the new i'm moving further north. we head to vill nearest the capital of lithuania, which is celebrating a big birthday in 2023. it's $700.00. to be exact. wellness is famous for its many churches as well as for its old town, which is a world heritage site. for a series bucket list, euro max reporter, actual prima easy, checked out, some of the must see sites on his tour of the city, which took him to some dizzying heights. ah papa, i'm sitting on the roof of the tv tower, 170 meters above it, the way nias capitol videos. being on top of the tv tower is probably the highest adventure, young villiers. but there's lots of other stuff to do today. i'll tell you what to

see beat and do in the lithuanian capital. a broad range of european architecture, stars are concentrated in a small space here. over half a 1000000 people live here in the country's biggest city and its old town has been listed as a unesco world heritage side. for many years. the cathedral square is the most important square in vilnius. it's named after the cathedral basilica of san stanislaus, and saint lattice laws ride behind me. next to it is the bare tower 1st and have a look around the cathedral. it was built in the 18th century, but the 1st christian house of worship on this site dates back to the 13th century . nora miss united shows me the church and one of its most important graphics. the lower arm bone of one of its name givers, st. stanislaus, an 11th century, bishop of croc, all. it was gifted for latina only after 300 years when lithia

eventually weiss christian asked. so when the 1st church was built in this place, actually the relic of things done as low as gifted to living. yet she symbolised maybe continuity between between the states to states of poland and latino together . ah. then of course i take the opportunity to see the better tele right next to the church. one of the city's oldest and most melodious towers. ah, and the view is quite spit ah, you know there's another tough for me to climb to day, but 1st as to get something to eat, that some thing is charity, but it's a very straightforward soup made with just a few ingredients. few mix feeds, cucumbers and green onions with kathy. and it stop for me,

so i can't fall over the edge. but i can walk all the way around the tower once. this is really a stunning view, but i'm a bit afraid of the hide. then comes the ultimate test of courage, sitting on the brink. ah okay. everything is really secure. i mean, even my glasses have a rope, but this is frightening anyhow. ah, by the end of my day in vain use, this much is clear. the city has so much to offer that i would definitely have to come again. the beginning of a new year is also a time of new beginnings. it may even be the time for trying out a new sense. oh, there are so many perfumes on the market that it can literally give you a headache. just trying to find a new one. well,
