I am going to Germany in March, and have built in time for brewery tours, tasting, etc. Any recommendations of breweries, cities, or beers that you would consider a "must try/see"?
I've been through Europe but never Germany unfortunately so I can't recommend specifically. But I do know these guys make one hell of a Hefeweizen. They have it at our local NBLC if you want to try it.

Thanks rob! I love research. I'll check it out.
Me personally, Dusseldorf would be a town I would really like to visit to taste all the different altbier. Also, Berlin for berliner weisse. Bamberg for rauchbier. Cologne for kolsch. Kempten for steinbier.
Thanks Jamie, I will be in several of those places, and will have a fair amount of flexibility. I'll do my best to take photos of as many of these recommendations as possible!
