    I'm going there today to buy some beer. Any recommendations? I prefer the not so strong stuff - the 8+ % abv is a bit spirity for me.

    I like anything, really. Love the Augustiner Helles and the hopped wheet beer I bought there last time. It was a collaboration between Schneider and an american distillery (I think). Got that one wrong the last time.

    What are the good American beers?

    Brewery :D

    Check out the Pinkus Müller beers, and the Special in particular. Also the Brew Moon beers from New Zealand are very good and I don't know anywhere else that sells them: Dark Side Stout and Amberley Pale Ale are the best of that bunch.

    They have the reverse of that now, the US version, top shelf, large bottle. It's even better than the German one imo.

    It says "1 pint 9.4 fluid oz.", which is 75.1cl.

    You made me do maths. I hope you're happy now :(

    Sorry, although could have been talking about Anchor... They distill whiskey, don't they? A very good one - a rye malt.

    Anyway, I wasn't.

    Thanks for all the recomendations. I'll pick up some of them next time. This time I had left before many of the replies, so I ended getting some Lowen Brau and some Augustiners... and a dunkle schneider weiss.

    I've had a few different ones and they're brilliant. I don't know of another operation producing a single malt rye.

    Their fluid oz is different too.
