Recent Beer Finds
Naja's Place, Redondo Beach, CA [January 2010, beer & food] Located on Redondo Beach boardwalk, Naja's is a quinessental waterfront dive bar and we mean that in a good way. Laid back with a great beer selection, Naja's is one of those beer places where we could spend hours and hours with friends and beers.
Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel, Sydney, Australia [December 2009, beer, lodging & food] The Lordie is not on this list just because it is the first brewery we visited with the Nelson surname. Great pub with good food and beer plus accommodations make Sydney's oldest hotel a must stop.
We like to use this anecdote when describing how easy it is to incorpororate beer destinations in your travels.
Every Munich guidebook has the Hofbrauhaus as a destination... which is fine; it's a fun place to go and the beer is good.
What these guidebooks don't tell you is that two of the best beer places in Munich are located seconds away: Wirtshaus Ayinger is almost directly across the street from the Hofbrauhaus in the Hotel Platzl. It serves the incredible Ayinger beers from the nearby town of Aying as well as having great German food. A little farther away - a block and a half - is the Schneider beer hall where the best hefe-weizen in Bavaria (plus the incredible Aventinus) can be drank; again accompanied by great German food.
With a little preparation, research and using this website - and sometimes just plain luck - you can beer travel too.
