Weiher is a great brewery with both traditional and craft beer offerings. Their Bock is a classic Hellerbock with a malty palate and dryish, bittersweet finish.
Elch-Bräu Dunkle is a very clean beer with a nice chocolatey palate which goes well with the pork dishes the area is noted for.
Hofmann Festbier is all you could ever want in a beer, rich and malty with ample hopping that make for a long dry finish and extremely quaffable palate.
Kohlmühle Rabenschwarz is a fine, well-made Schwarzbier. Perfect with a rich meal.
