Alan Hutton of Gennum, who found this little gem, writes: "Being Scottish I was immediately drawn to the William Wallace ale with a real malty taste but not overly loaded with alcohol compared to some of the others beers on offer. With a slight taste of smoky peat coming through it was an enjoyable start to an evening and did somewhat remind me of being back in Glasgow with a few notable differences - we were sitting outside, the sun was shining and the beer was damm expensive !. Other beers on tap include the Atlantic IPA, a light malt Été Belgian ale, the Norwegian Ellhorn, the German VesterWeisse (or wheat beer) and Schlager (Munich malt and Czech Saaz hops) , and the rather unusually named trio of James Brown, Cole Porter and Stevie Ray ales. Did not venture into the attached restaurant but the menu did look interesting with distinct overtures towards Italian cuisine. Definitely worth a visit for any beer lover and since it's located downtown just off the City Hall main square (Radhuspladsen) it is very easy to find.

 

BrewPub København is an innovative microbrewery with own restaurant and bar, in the heart of Copenhagen.

 

The pub's site reads: 'We are situated in a historic 17th century building just off the main square (Rådhuspladsen). Our beer garden in the brewery courtyard provides atmospheric surroundings for a relaxing beer in the summer months. Brewery tours can be arranged.

The restaurant and pub have 11 different own-brewed and guest beers (Danish and international) on tap, plus a wide selection of bottled beers from around the world. 

We serve both lunchtime (from 12:00pm) and evening meals in the restaurant, and we also provide bar food for those in search of a lighter snack during the day. Call us on +45 3332 0060 to book a table or for further information.'

 

 

Cuisine

The restaurant cuisine is seasonal, our chef drawing much inspiration from the variety of beers on tap to create original dishes and sauces, while our staff are always willing and able to give advice regarding choice of beer and wine with your meal.

Call us on +45 3332 0060 if you have special requirements such as allergy-friendly dishes.

Thanks very much indeed to Alan Hutton for this one.

 

Alan says: "Tegernsee beer is quite possibly one of southern Germany's (Bavaria) best kept secrets. Close enough to Munich, the Tegernsee Brauhaus dates back to a Benedictine Abbey in 746 where the monks indulged in their favourite pastime of brewing beer and drinking it themselves until 1803 when a royal takeover opened the doors for local Bavarians to sample their wares. "

 

"The cavernous beer hall is usually full and vibrant with local conversation and the food although limited in choice is reasonably priced", adds Alan, "if you like crispy roasted pork knuckle or roasted "Bierbratl" (pork belly) straight from the oven with a potato and cucumber salad then this is the place to be drinking great beer. Rarely seen outside of the Bavaria region and never exported outside of Germany this is one jewel in the crown of small breweries in southern Germany."

Dick Selwood writes: "A micro-brewery and bar in the heart of the old town of Nuremberg,  with six beers, including two Bocks. The best way to try is a sampler, with small galsses of each. (Or large if you prefer.) The kicker is  the small glass at the end of the special wooden tray that they bring the glasses on. This will conatin a BierBrand - a double distilled beer with a 40% alcohol content. They do samplers of those for the  brave."

Bushe's Bar

Baltimore

West Cork

Ireland

 Our correspondent writes: 'I'd like to kick off the Irish section by recommending a lovely seaside pub in Baltimore, West Cork called Bushe's Bar. It's a cozy,  family run pub full of interesting maritime artefacts. I don't have the exact address, but you can't miss it as it's the only proper pub  on the waterfront.'

'It's the perfect place to pass a leisurely afternoon chatting with  locals and puzzling over the crossword. I only drink Guiness in Ireland, but you can also find other good local brews.'

'Remember that a half pint is called a glass in Ireland, not that you'll probably order one!'
