Good "bottle beer" in Munich?

solstice · 08-01-2014, 11:15 AM

When I bought good beer in Germany it's always been tap beer at beer gardens, Brau hauses, restaurants, bars etc.

This time we will head directly for Italy and stay there for the full ED, just heading back for drop-off and the flight back from Munich.

I love the food and wine in Italy but the beer is a bit limited in selection so I thought I'd stock up in Germany on the way towards Austria. What say the Germans or German experts here. Suggestions on good beer to pick from a German grocery store?

Preferable local Bavarian stuff or at least beer that isn't common large export brands readily available in most stores in the US or Sweden

http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1796/6575/ is one of my favorites that you can't get outside of Germany

Just a thought but you may either not be allowed to or limited to the amount of alcohol you can transport across countries. Probably should figure that out first.

People from the Nordics come into EU and load there vehicles full of beer and liquor for the year to avoid higher taxes. Certainly not an issue intra EU.

I can't remember the specific name, but the hofbrau beer mixed with lemonade. It's fantastic.

There is a limit on how much you can take home with you (back to the Nordics). But for a single trip it shouldn't be an issue.
