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!'
