HighTest Beer in Munich?

My DH likes his beer with a bit more alcohol. What type of beer should he order? What brand would you recommend?

Order the local beer served in the particular establishment you are visiting. (Most of the breweries in and around Munich have their own biergartens and/or restaurants).

Drinking in Munich isn%26#39;t for getting drunk -- it%26#39;s for appreciating the centuries-old craft of producing excellent beers.

Some of the Winter / Seasonal brews are higher (6.5 to 8.1 % ABV) that average beers. Most beer in Munich are indeed to be enjoyed, not intended for drunken contests.. Most are between 5.2 and 6.3%...

Also, a few of the Dopplebocks may be around 7%//

Thanks for the feedback.

Here the restaurants/pubs tend to be tied to a brewery in many cases so brand isn%26#39;t the issue.

To go for high strength, often the dearest beers are the more potent. Also any that end %26quot;ator%26quot; tend to be interestingly strong.

In Augustiner places for example, Edelstoff is about 5.30 Euro per litre (yes, litre- which is why perhaps strong is not optimum for enjoyment) whereas the lower strength Helles is about 5.

Aventinus, not from Augustiner, is 8 per cent, so per litre could have interesting effect.

You can get light coloured beer, dark coloured beer, and also wheat beer (light or dark or intermediate) of varying strengths. Augustiner is often indicated as being a good brewery, but it%26#39;s all down to taste.

Ethelemen, thanks for being non judgmental, I appreciate just the facts. will remember your advice!

Also look for Starkbiers which are sold at many biergartens usually 6 to 8 % or maybe stronger. Some of the stronger beers are bottled so you may to ask and look out for some of the smaller breweries eg Andechs have a bar in the Frauen kirche area that has some excellent beers
