German and foreign beers - where to buy in Hamburg

If you search for a special brand of beer, this is the place to go:

Graeff Getränke KG
Am Osdorfer Born 28
22549 Hamburg
Tel: 040-807 88 70

They sell more than 250 brands, with a wide range of bavarian beer amongst them. No English beer as far as I could see, couldn't check them all - but hey, you're in Germany, why would you drink English beer here?

They also sell all other kinds of beverages, nice range of Whiskey/Whisky as well.

Some smart-arsing: did you know that over 4,000 brands of beer are being brewed in Germany? If you want to try a new brand every day it would take you abt. 11 years to try them all.

Cheers!

I seem to remember seeing some Newcastle Brown Ale there just next to the Augustiner, just after the entrance. No comparison!

MUST - RESIST - URGE


Actually, 1,250 breweries brew 7,500 different beers. Fortunately, most of the beers taste the same, so that saves a lot of time

We now know these figures because an Englishman spent four years researching it. See Good Beer Guide Germany

Oops - maybe then I should inform Graeff's about the mistake on their homepage - seems to be quite out of date.

Well, that teaches me always to double-check information, especially since we have this Good Beer Guide at home Just couldn't throw a glance at it, cos' it's my bf's new bible...

Maybe I can steal it from under his pillow tomorrow...


I had checked Newcastle with their search engine - didn't work - but maybe it's not updated...
