Cesky Krumlov such a small place, only found one bar with a menu that wasn't lager or pilsener centric...Had a Czech local ipa from
Zlata Krava brewery. Quite nice, had a second of the same with some nice bar snacks.
Found a cool little bar [Alchimiste Belge] near our hotel in Salzburg.
They do mainly Belgian beer but had some local Austrian taps. Had a nice local Neipa then a local 10 percent Ipa that was quite powerful...
Asked the barman what their best-seller is, he said a pilsener that they brew themselves locally.
He gave me a taste, and as expected my disdain of pilsener must have been noticeable when I tasted it...
I said,not my style, he said, no worries we sell lots of it cause it's cheap...
Okay, I'm looking back through my beer checkins for Salzburg.
It might be hard to believe, but I've had a couple of beers at Alchimiste Belge too.
I also managed to grab an American Pale Ale across the lane at #Belgiek - Beffa Bar.
I did a tour of the Stiegl brewery, which had some really good beers to try in their bar there, besides their standard lager.
I also went to the Augustiner beer hall, which was a great experience.
I haven't been to Innisbruck, but I know that Tribuan is the place to go there, as it's the sister bar of a good one in Vienna (Ammutson).
Beffa bar has closed down permanently unfortunately, but thanks AP will def check out that recommendation when in Innsbruck.
In a small Austrian ski town atm which is almost deserted because of summer, suits me just fine.
Only beer really on offer is at the local Spar who stock two Austrian Brew Age beers, an imperial ipa [quite good] and a neipa [unexpectedly very good)...These are a bargain at about $3.50 aus for a stubby.

Back in Munich before heading home tomorrow.
Spent a few days prior in the Zillertal Valley in Austria, tried the local Zillertal brews but all ordinary...
Went to a nice craft bar/shop in Munich yesterday - Bierkiste - had a nice neipa from a local brewer called Yankee and Kraut.
Before I left for this trip I put a couple of nice beers from Hope brewhouse [double neipa] and Chur [lid ripper hazy]in the fridge to have while I unpack Wednesday night.
Son has been housesitting for a couple of weeks, if he's written out of the will, you'll know why...
No Dreams Til Brooklyn.
A very nice oat cream ipa garage project collaboration.
Can recommend.
Seconded.
Have tried a few Korean beers whilst in Seoul.
Went to a grungy little place called Brew 3.14 and tried the Jirisan Moon Bear IPA ,not too bad..and the Budnamu double IPA, lovely.
Went to Craft Root late this arvo and ordered their NEIPA but was then told the keg was empty...after I'd paid...had the Sokcho IPA instead and that was bland...
Were you able to effectively communicate your disappointment?
In ***uoka Japan atm and have tried some labelled local craft cans via mini markets but all are basically rubbish.
Went to a tiny bar this arvo called Beerkichi and paid the most I ever have for a beer.
$19 for a large (about 480 mls I think) glass of Totopia oat cream hazy ipa.
Was worth every cent...
Nothing decent to report atm.
Despite trying some craft bars in the last few places we've been and plenty of local brewers, none have really matched up as half ok.
Have a good lead for a small craft bar in Tokyo when we're there early next week.
Final beer in Japan was a good one.
Took me a while to find the bar, Nakano Beer Kobo, but worth it.
A hazy ipa called grasshopper.
And no chance of a decent beer on the jetstar flight home today...
