Fresh bier-wise, I know we're stuck with the big 6, but there are Andechs, Forschungsbrau, Schneider, usw.... But bar and store-wise? I reported on Liebick in Harthaus last year. That store had a shitload!!! Now I see Biervana and Getraenke Oase as new craft bier stores in the city (both are here on BA). Plus new bars Red Hot and Camba Tap House.... Anyone visit any of these? Found interesting that the Biervana web says they do not carry cola, smokes, water, lottos or mixed bier shit... I will try to hit the new stores and perhaps Tap House this Sept.... Maybe there is some hope, eh? ;-)

Prosit!

I rarely venture outside of Augustiner when I am there. Sorry I can't be of more help....

I visited Camba Tap House 2 times when in town last week and I spent 4-5 hours each time. Chatted with very nice staff and customers and tried some tasty food and nice beers. Reasonable price too, I found, compared to what I see in Dublin. I would recommend.

Remember I went to Camba's Tap House in February? My report is here:

BrauKunstLive 2014--- Part 2

We left around 7:30 pm and wanted to make our way over to Camba Bavaria's craft beer bar, Tap House. We went by subway and it was a 10+ minute walk, much farther than it looked on the map, but we found it eventually. The place was packed, and we at first could't find a table, but after walking around for 5 minutes, we managed to find 2 empty bar stools at a table with others. The food was good, first of all, for we were famished. The menu was small, mostly some bread with stuff of it, and chilli con carne, but it tasted great. The beer menu of the day, and this only one of many ways the place the place made me feel at home. The atmosphere was lots of open brick and wood, not stereotypically German, but more post-modern factory.
Below is a terrible picture, unfocused and too dark, but hey, I wan't completely sober, and I think you'll get a feel for the place nonetheless.

But it was the menu that made me swoon. There had to be 200 or more beers, lots of beers on tap that changed daily, and lots of bottles that came in seemly every day, for they announced new arrivals on boards.

We had two beers, almost the antithesis of each other, the first from a bottle, and the 2nd one in a 0.1L glass. I had a Sly Fox 113 IPA and then I had the Camba Bavaria Camba Doppelbock - Bourbon.

First, the 113 IPA was almost too bitter to drink, especially in the front of the tongue and in the aftertaste. It was REALLY BITTER, and this covered up whatever malt and other flavours may have been present in the beer. As an ending beer, it was most unpleasant. I wish I had't ordered it and it basically made me think of Scott and his ravings against the MOAH-crowd. If this is what it leads too, I'm with him. It almost reined in any fun I'd been having. 113 was the IBUs and it was not a beer to end a night on.

The other beer, the Camba Doppelbock - Bourbon was heavenly. The aroma... WOW... vanilla, chico, bourbon, man. The flavour lived up to it's introduction, again WOW! All the above aromas were present in to taste, but mostly it had a whisky-ish taste, too. At 10.5%, another beer maybe that wasn't the best to end a day of drinking, for it was too strong and powerful to finish either, but that was because I was beginning to be more than tipsy getting at least half way finished with it. At 10.5%, I'd call that a Trippelbock. However, it tasted wonderful and was worth every penny of almost 5€.

That was it. Cheers.

I loved it there. Lots and lots of German and non-German craft beers.
