Summer beers in Germany are typically Weizen (wheat dark or light), Pilsen, or various lagers (dark…read moreor light), but you will be hard pressed to find a hoppy IPA (Indian Pale Ale)-style beer amongst the regular draft fare. Don't get me wrong, they are also great beers, but they don't have the bitter sweet taste of a high IBU (international bitterness unit) of an IPA. While wandering through Heidelberg we discovered you can actually find bottled IPA style beers from German micro Brewers right here at Upper Glass, among a whole host of other beers.

I am a fan of Belgian beers and found a few faves (Chimay, Delirium) and also a selection of hard ciders and fruit Lambics. Prices are higher than your avg Supermarket, which is expected from the selection. The shop worker (possibly owner) left us to look around and when we had questions he was able to answer all of them. I plan to be a repeat customer! PS- since they are craft beers I assume most places wont give you your deposit back, but it looks like you can bring them back to the shop (prices on the price tickets)

The store labels beers by country so it's very easy to find what you're looking for. I also really enjoyed how they called out Alsatian beers - they had quite a large selection from local breweries. I can't comment on the price (coming from the US, everything seemed like a good deal to me), but this is a great spot if you're looking to try some new beers.
