    Going to be staying in Interlaken, Switzerland for a few days before heading back to the states. Is there any stores that have Cantillion for sale? Or any other good local brews to try or bring home? I don't have a car here so only able to get places by local transit (train, bus). Thanks in advance.

    You can get beer anywhere -- take the opportunity of the location and find directions to the base of the Eiger -- it's an experience you'll remember far longer than any beer you may drink.

    Keep an eye out for the local brews, Rugenbrau and Alpenperl.Like Steve said
    if the weather is clear, get up to Kleine Scheidegg.

    Or go even further - take the train through the Eiger to the top - to the Jungfraujoch... On a nice day it is über-awesome!! Or up to the Schilthorn, or Schynigge Platte... or go to Grindelwald... So many options!!

    Prosit!!

    I'm with the others. I don't believe there to be much of a Craft Beer following there, so you might as well enjoy the local offerings, and take in the incredible scenery!

    You nailed it!

    Oh, once at Jungfraujoch, you can get out on the glacier and hike up to the Hut, and have food and a beer there.

    Take the gondola up to Shiltorn, stop in Murren on the way up or down. Walk along the path looking down on the glacier on the other side.
