It did seem ridiculously cheap. I may have to go back and stock up.

Seems like loads of people had Omnipollo Ice cream beers this weekend.
I had the Original Ice cream pale. So vanillary but I enjoyed it.

Think I’m going to try the Siren Coffee DIPA this evening.

They brought out some new flavours at a London festival didn’t they? Probably why.

bit of a long shot but can anyone here recommend any good beer places in munich?

not sure if germany’s largely pilsner only? i went berlin a few years back but it was my pre beer wanker life

Munich has some good craft stuff, & Union most notably, but also crew Republic. But even so, the bayern region is home to be best helles and weiß bier in the world so I wouldn’t worry too much

Lollllllll good beer places in Munich are you kidding? They make the best lagers in the world and you’d be a fool not to indulge in them. The Hofbrauhaus, Lowebrau and Augustiner are my top recommendations. Seriously, even if you don’t normally drink lager because you prefer hoppy stuff, go with it, these places are incredible experiences.

There a great photo of me with two Maß and a pretzel. Man, Munich was a messy trip. Augustiner was great too.

#3306

also to answer your broader question, the big three, Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, have all begun to fully embrace Craft, the rest of the country, not so much.

Also hot tip: If you are ordering/going to Hofbräu or Löwenbräu and don’t want to sound like a complete tourist, they’re pronounced “Hof-broy”/“Lurven-broy”. Also Augustiner is “Ow-gust” rather than “Or-gust”

apologies in advance if you already knew this and I’m being patronising, or if you have no qualms with sounding like a tourist :wink:

oh and a “stein” is something the English kinda decided, if you want to impress, call it a “mass”

haha cheers for the tips. nah I just didn’t know what to expect, don’t really drink much abroad but think this one will be quite boozy.

will check out all those places and at least try to try the pronunciation

#3308

Could definitely do with a big currywurst, pommes and helles right now

you tried Hiedenpeters stuff in Berlin? Loved that stuff when I was there last summer, made a nice change to the dozens of pilsners I had

also not beer, but that Berliner Sommer stuff phwoar

#3311

yup had a couple, and are decent, there’s loads popping up in Berlin now but them, Berliner Berg and BRLO (and Stone) are the most widely spread. I’m yet to have a truly remarkable German craft beer though, I’m not sure if it’s the techniques or the hops or whatever but I’m yet to be blown away by anything but plenty of nice stuff which yeah is a nice break from pils/helles every now and then.

Ooh I’ve not had that Berliner Sommer stuff yet but i’ve seen it around, what is it exactly? It’s like 10% right?

#3312

Yeah just like a strong fruity lemonade type thing, really nice.

Very fond memories of this time last year drinking it in Berlin. Wanna go back
