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. We selected two and then walked around with out bottles. Then we gave our bottles to a student to collect the refund on he recycling. It was a hot day in Heidelberg and these beers certainly went down well!

Great craft beer shop to have in Heidelberg. The shelves are filled with beers from all over the…read moreworld. I moved from California recently, so I was so thrilled to find Anderson Valley, Anchor Steam, and Sierra Nevada on the shelves. 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)

Fantastic Group Dining Experience in a Stunning Setting…read more We visited Brauhaus - Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg with a group of about 30 people, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Since we were such a large group, we ordered ahead and had several great options to choose from -- a smart move that made everything run smoothly. I had the salad with chicken, and it was absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Others in our group were equally happy with their meals, and the portions were generous all around. The beer was also excellent -- crisp, well-crafted, and a perfect match for the food and the setting. You can tell they take pride in their brewing. What really stood out, though, was the service and atmosphere. Despite the size of our group, the staff was efficient, friendly, and totally on top of things. And the interior? Absolutely gorgeous -- warm, historic, and full of character. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel like you're somewhere special. If you're in Heidelberg, Brauhaus - Kulturbrauerei is a must. Great food, great beer, and a great experience overall. I'd go back in a heartbeat! 5 stars! P.S. You can buy mugs and t-shirts if desired.

After our usual walking tour and some window shopping we arrived at the recommended place and got a table. Ms T was not hungry and just wanted a pretzel. I wanted some kind of wurst and found one item that satisfied both; three weißwurst served with a soft pretzel. I wanted something with it and ordered creamy green beans. This was another simple but wonderful meal. I peeled the sausage as we were taught in Münich and ate them with the supplied mustard. The green beans are probably the best I have eaten. They were in a light white sauce seasoned with tiny cubes of ham, bohnenkraut (summer savory) and black pepper. They were absolutely delicious. I make something similar at home with cream instead of the white sauce, but unless I grow my own, I cannot get the high quality, fresh, slender beans that they have. Next time I will copy this version as well as possible. We each drank 0.5L of their house Pilsner which was excellent. Again, we had very friendly and helpful service in a very nice local place. It was another memorable meal on-shore in Germany.
