Message kerenmk beers 7425 º places 316 º 04:20 Sat 9/30/2017 While our upcoming beer trip in Bavaria/ Franconia/ Saxsony/ Nordrhein-Westfalen focuses on small, countryside brewpubs, we are very curious about Ganstaller beers, especially their rauchbier. We'll be at the brewery's proximity, but it's not open to the public. Any clue about bars or stores that carry their stuff is appreciated. We'll be all over - Bamberg, Wirzburg, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Dusseldorf, Essen, Koln, Leipzig and Plzn are the focal points of the trip.
Message SinH4 P beers 15469 º places 416 º 04:34 Sat 9/30/2017 This is not going to be fun for you. Your best bet to try Gänstaller beers is at festivals abroad or to make an appointment with the brewer at the brewery (if he has time, of course). The only places in and around Bamberg that sell Gänstaller beers are: - Eckerts (Zwickelpils) - Stöhrenkeller (usually the Kellerbier) - Café Abseits (used to have bottles, now not anymore, sometimes has a keg on) Bierothek might have some bottles, but not always, and so will all the other Bierotheks in the other citys. You will definitely be able to try the Zwickelpils since that one is always on (and probably the Kellerbier), but it's a total gamble if you're gonna find Affumicator, Rauch Royal, or any of the other not-so-standard ones. I'd suggest sending a message to Andreas Gänstaller, maybe he's around when you are in the area.

Message harrisoni P beers 25368 º places 68 º 16:00 Mon 10/2/2017 Contact Andreas https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/g%C3%A4nstaller-br%C3%A4u/12331/ Although it says brewery not open to the public, if you contact him in advance, he is normally happy to receive people from Ratebeer as long as it is convenient. I've met him several times and he is nothing other than very polite and helpful.
