I have a few hours stuck in the Frankfurt airport. Does anyone know a place nearby? Preferably no more than 1hr (roundtrip) from the airport where I can quickly stock up on a few great beers that you can't get in the US. Looking for recommendations for shops/beers
You could take the S-Bahn line 8 or 9 from the airport to Kelsterbach (3 minutes) where you have the choice of several Getränkemärkte: All-Drinks, Weingärtenstr. 3 https://plus.google.com/100363183140384562036/about?hl=en Getränke Rapp, Im Taubengrund 19 https://plus.google.com/105828745382164660184/about?hl=en Profi Getränke Shop, Langer Kornweg 20 https://plus.google.com/109209803576540840405/about?hl=en Note that these will be closed on Sundays, like most shops in Germany.
Good tips. Don't expect "hidden gems" in the Frankfurt area, but you can score some very fresh beer at least. I believe the Profi shop is the largest of the group.
Any recommendations for good Frankfurt pubs or brewpubs that are near the airport and accessible by train during a day-long layover? Thank you.
