5.0 out of 5 stars Describes 100's of beers/breweries in Bavaria - beer heaven!, October 12, 1999

This review is from: A Beer Drinker's Guide to Southern Germany (Paperback)

No beer lover should leave home without it! Excellent reviews of individual beers from the smallest village braueries to the largest Munich producers. All beer styles included- light, smooth, pils to strong, rich, doppelbocks. Stock up arriving and departing southern Germany at Karl Maruhn's largest beer store in world (south of Darmstadt) for all the highly rated beers from breweries you can't visit. The book's weakness is locations/lack of maps to find the breweries. No problem, buy a German map atlas, ask for directions, but take the author's advice and seek out every beer he highly recommends. You'll have a great time. Prost.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone planning on drinking beer in Southern Germany, December 20, 2011

While the book may be a bit outdated (the copy I have is from 1993), much of what is written in the book, and the majority of beers and breweries is still valid!
The author goes into detail on a number of beers throughout Southern Germany, and finds some out-of-the-way-gems! Having been stationed in the Stuttgart area in the mid-70's, I can honestly say, this guy did a fine job locating obscure breweries and beers.
If I have one gripe with the book, it would be that it could be a bit more detailed on locations of the breweries, perhaps a small map or something to that effect.
