My 21 year old will be in munich next week for a couple of days. He's starting to realize that not all beer is the same. What advice would you give him in terms of beers to try, etc.? Thanks Fred
The Oktoberfest is Sep 22 thru Oct 7 -- your son will be immersed in the whole festival and is bound to discover how different cultures (as well as beer) can be. To that, since there will be so much Oktoberfestbier to be had, he ought to visit the Schneider Haus for some good Weizen -- a very different style with some different styles within the style. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2851
Here's a map for you Fred: http://beermapping.com/maps/maps.php?m=germany You can zoom into Munich and see some good spots. Also a good source for locations (if not direct descriptions of beer): http://www.beerdrinkersguide.com/BDGWebsite/Mainframe.html Highly recommend the book for his trip, if it's not too late to get it. I've also seen it for sale at the bookstore in the main train station in the heart of Munich.
