Günzburg and Leipheim

Yesterday: Augsburg again

First, this tip from the "Beer Me!" Travel Bureau...

The gates at German railroad crossings close while the train is still a long way away. Still, walking around the gates to catch a train, even when the train is a good thousand yards off, will earn you a stern lecture from the train driver when you board.

Now, back to the trip...

Günzburg used to have quite a few breweries. Some of them have closed, and some of them have moved their production either off-site or out of town altogether.

The Brauereigaststätte zum Rad serves beers from Günzburg's Brauerei zum Rad, which specializes in wheat beers. They offer a tray of 100ml samples of all five of their beers, plus a glass to take home, for €7.50. Plus their Schweinehaxe is massive.

I walked up the hill to get a look at Münz-Brauerei, but I couldn't find any of their beer on the way down to the Bahnhof.

Leipheim is a four-minute train ride from Günzburg, and Gaissmaier Brauerei is a four-minute walk from the train station.

Two half-liters and a bottle cost me just €5.90, and that included the bottle deposit.
