The gentleman working there when we visited was incredibly helpful. He rightly steered me away from the Belgian beers I can get back in the states. I told him what I like, and he gave us some amazing options. He opened one right there from the fridge for me to drink. It's novel for me that you can just drink on the streets. He even found a helles that I love, though I don't normally go for that style. Better yet , the prices are really reasonable . we walked away with seven bottles for under €20. We will be back today to get gifts and some extra bottles to sample throughout the day as we walk the streets of Munich.

Being from america we haven't heard of most of these beers so omit was awesome having her help. The prices were crazy cheap... we walked away with 4 bottles for a total of $9. If this was in the states it would have been $30+. Next time we're in munich we will be stopping in again

So - as I'd mentioned in my review of Ryan's Muddy Boot, I took a serious hankering to the Bavarian…read morewhiskey called Slyrs. Edgar gave me Tara's card, but just to be sure, I asked Johannes, the manager of Sweet & Sour at the Sheraton Westpark where I could find Slyrs, and he also pointed me without a second thought to Tara. Okay - I know when it's time to shut up and just take good advice. I took a stroll from the Odeonplatz U-Bahn through the Rindermarkt and found this grey-stoned little corner shop, only to open the door to richly-lit wooden shelves stocked with an amazing selection of amber liquors. Tara has just about everything you could look for in the wonderful world of whiskey, including a wall of Glenmorangie dating back to the early 1970s! So - I'm after a bottle of Slyrs, and the gentleman running the place is happy to guide me along the entire lineup, seemingly deeply knowledgeable in his craft and trying to guide me to what my taste profile would appreciate most. As I'm checking out, I see a wall of jams behind the counter. Wait, what? Whiskey is whiskey...what are sweets doing here? Oh...they're made WITH Slyrs whiskey? Sure - I'll take an apricot one. 4 days later, as I write this, I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy the entire display case out. Yeah...it's that good. Germany, and München in particular, may not be the first place you think of when you're of a mind to find good whiskey. That's not surprising, because their beer is among the best in the world, but also because German whiskey is good enough that they're not exporting, preferring to focus on quality and serving the burgeoning local market. Stop by here - you may wind up finding a reason beyond the beer halls to love German adult beverages.

A relatively new phenomenon in Munich is the craft beer scene. Not surprising really, considering,…read morethis county has over 4000 different beers and, almost 1/3rd or more comes from Bavaria, a state with a 500 year old purity law (that is artisanal enough) ;-) This is a tough business in a country with great beer however, nice to have this shop in my neighbourhood. This shop has many craft beers from Germany and other countries like Belgium, USA, UK and other places in Europe. This makes it an attractive shop as many of these beers are not generally available in the Getränkemarkt. The staff here are very friendly and helpful and know a lot about the beers they have. This is a relatively new shop and I am sure they will expand their selection as time goes on. The choice of international beers is something I quite like as, it gives you an opportunity to try new ones and buy ones you have liked in the past. A place worth a visit for a browse or for buying a selection of beers to try.

As I had the case and didn't want to carry lots of full bottles of beer, I drove. Well, the one and only problem I see with Biervana is the incredibly difficult parking situation in the area. If you're on foot, bike, etc. and aren't planning to carry 5 liters of beer plus a wooden crate, then it's got to be a lot easier to visit them. Once in the shop, it's like....well, Biervana. Beer from around the world, organized according to type. The staff knows their beer quite well. You can ask for recommendations based on what you like or just grab what you want by choosing from the gazillion (maybe slightly exaggerated) pretty labels. If I lived in Munich, I'd be in this shop all too often. Even better, the cost of beer in Germany is so low compared to Switzerland that I bought quite a bit of beer and the bottle deposit money covered almost half the cost of the beer.
