Good Beer Guide to Germany

Posted by DonS on 2006-05-28 11:50:16

I just got my copy on Saturday, along with the latest edition of Tim Webb & co.'s GBG to Belgium. It was a good day to go to the mailbox, yes. I echo the sentiments on price; even at 17 quid plus p&p to the USA, this new GBG Germany is fantastic. When I first opened it and skimmed a few pages and then went to the Bamberg section, I had to put it down for a minute; my head was swimming. It's that good. Armed with this, the two Boris Braun volumes, and my "Handy" with the right SIM-card installed, I'm gonna be having a good time in October. I can forgive the inclusion of a very small number of breweries which have since closed; at the current rate of brewery closures in Germany, it's a daunting task to keep up (and a bit depressing as well). Speaking of Boris Braun books, there was supposed to be a third volume on Niederbayern and the Oberpfalz. Anyone know what happened?
