This place was awesome!! I’ve never seen such a selection in europe. I wasn’t able to get a couple of beers I wanted but that was because they were out of it. Maybe next time they’ll have it. This was a huge store that was a lot of fun to go through. I was like a kid in a candy store!! Great selection of single malts too!

Unbelievable selection of beer in a town most people have never heard of before. The largest part of their selection is domestic. Beer is often separated by style. The Weizenbock selection could be a little bigger and the Pils, a little smaller. The have a impressive selection of booze as well. The first place in Germany that has Left Hand and some other West Coast beers. The prices are very reasonable as well.

BLUF: INCREDIBLE!!! I’m with the Army down in Heidelberg (about 30 minutes south), and got turned on to this store by a colleague of mine. I "poo poo’d" it for a couple of months, as there are TONS of getrankemarkts (beer stores) in Heidelberg. I had nothing to do this past Saturday, and so I decided I might as well go and see what they carried. WOW!!!! My first impression - This is a veritable BEER DISNEYLAND!! These guys carry beers from ALL parts of Germany, including Bayern (Bavaria) they carry tens (not quite 100) beers that NO ONE else carries in this part of Germany. They also carry numerous beers from Belgium, France, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Thailand, Philippines, Canada, and yes, even craft beer from the USA (e.g., Dogfish Head). I easily selected two crates of beers and swore I’d be back when I emptied them - give me a week or two. This HAS to be the best getranke in Germany - but I’ll keep looking for a better one!!! I know my search just got a LOT harder, though.

I used to work in Darmstadt. As the others have said this is by far the best Beer store I have ever been to. The first time I was there I spent two hours just looking. They really have just about anything from Bavaria and Germany. They even brew their own beer but most miss that because of the amount of other beers there. Check the website for the fantastic selection. Website says it is listed in the Guiness book of records as the largest beer selection.

This is one of the best beer stores I have been in. They have beers from all around the world and you can have most of them as singles. The prices are reasonable, between 1 and 4 Euro for most. This is a great store to taste a lot of unique beers or buy cases at a time. I can’t comment on their rotation of beers as I have only been there one time so far. They have a small assortment of glasses and trinquets. The wine and spirit selection is also plentiful, but I did not buy or price any of these. The service was ok, but speaking German would be helpful on my part. The restroom was very clean, but you have to get a key from the cashier and it was free. (Not the norm in Europe) I will keep checking their selection and post more.

This shop call itself The world’s greatest beer shop - maybe it is true, maybe not... But it is Germany’s biggest beer store, in fact.... Impressive selection of german beers (from local brewers and especially from Bavaria), many seasonals, small selection of good brews from Belgium, the U.K. and the U.S.A. A must for every beer-hunter, a better Getränkemarkt You’ll never find in Germany !

Well, if you are in Darmstadt, this is a very worthwhile detour. A very good selection selection of German beers, of course, classifed by style and state (landt)...They claim 1250 brands from 60 countries, althought the international section isnt all that impresive. Prices are excellent (on average less than a euro a bottle, around 2.50 euro for imports). They also have a good wine and spirit selection. To get there from the Darmstadt HBhf, take the Heidelberg line and stop 2 stations south, at Darmstadt-Eberstadt, which runs every hour. Then, turn left once you exit to Pfungstädterstrasse, pass under the train overpass, and walk about 2 minutes.
