Quick update: I have now had 600 different German beers. 261 from Bavaria, so now at 43.5% of my total German rates.
Currently planning a road trip to Berlin, stopping in Brewpubs on the way and back. Should be fun and my percentage of Bavarian beers against other German states should be lower by the time we get home again (not until late July, early August though).
4370 beers from 622 breweries… Bavaria is just great! And many of my all-time favourites, which I drink regularly (Witzgall, Schönramer, Mallersdorfer…) come from there.
Thats because you probably spent your time around the base in Ramstein? And so in Kaiserslautern, this is the Palatinate=Pfalz part, thats indeed dubious
Mainz and Rheinhessen on the other side are lovely should you come around here again, I am more than ready to show you around
348 beers from 110 breweries. Only been to Bavaria once, to Haar next to Munich, for work, so no real ticking was involved. Availability is OK in NL. Would love to go around Bavaria some day and drink some quality lagers and Weizens.
And we have Bavaria in NL https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/bavaria-brouwerij-netherlands/1012/
For the connaisseurs, this brewery also operates under the moniker H-West.
1092 - but I lived in Bavaria for 3 years (but only started rating my last year there - I spent the first two years buying beer by the case just to get free glassware and other swag
I will be visiting Bremen later this year and hope to get onto the top 50 by just being there overnight and drinking whatever I can find, Cola/Becks mixes however will not be anything I will touch. I am currently on 6, all from Becks; should manage to find 6 new beers while in the city.
Sorry, I was replying to Travlr’s comments about Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate (the new format doesn’t make that clear). Wish I could go back to Bremen and get something other than the Beck beers.
I am about to swing through Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt with Grumbo (for part of the way), it’s been 15 years since I’ve been in that part of Germany (pre-RateBeer). Assuming we find some local beers, this will slide Bremen to last place in my German states
