I'm an American living in Munich. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also just published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria. View all posts by beerwanderers
Wagner have some of the best beers I have ever supped; absolutely sublime. This is one I have yet to try but it is certainly on my bucket list: I am sure it will not disappoint.
I would say it was a notch above the Hummel one. The father in the family had the Hellerbock at Wagner and it was good too but once he tried my Dunkler Bock, he switched over at Hummel! It was a cold but sunny day in November. Guess it would be a very cold day today but as you say, so nice to tuck into a warm pub for a hot meal and strong dark beer!
