Wowzirr!! Craft Beer Taking Europe By Storm

We spent a good deal of the summer researching places where ordinary tourists can find good beer. We knew we’d find great beer in Munich without much effort, but were far less sure what we’d find in Greece and Italy. We discovered a vibrant international beer community and a growing enthusiasm for distinctive beers that has left few towns of any size untouched.

From the back streets of Pompei to the hip areas of Barcelona craft beer bars are showing off a dazzling range of Europe’s 7,500 breweries. Europe still has a lifetime of rewards for beer tourists in traditional brewing countries, but increasingly those focusing on the monuments, museums and great sights of Europe can end their day with great beer no matter where they are.

In the months ahead, we’ll share some of these treasures. We’ll also feature some great drinking spots in beer-centered cities that didn’t make the cut into our first book. Join us as we travel from the rolling hills of Freising, Germany to the sunbaked plazas of Pisa, Italy. Below is a brief preview of blogs to come. [Post 0034 20170902]
