If you're going to buy this book, be prepared to do extra research once you're in Munich. You'll need to call the places recommended in this book to see if they're actually open. We wasted two hours of our time in Munich going to a place recommended in the book only to find it closed! Rick Steves has much better info and is reliable!

The book is a 'must have' for those beer lovers visiting Munich.

I would like the author to include in the next edition, a map of Munich with suggestions on where to drink in the city center. The map could be used as a travel guide to Munich, and listing the beer gardens on the map would make them easier to find (especially if it starts to rain and one must seek shelter).

The guide is accurate and fun to read, but the walking distances are slightly optimistic, especially if you have short legs!

This book is suprisingly good and gives extended information about various interesting locales in Munich. The beer locales are a kick. One could spend the whole trip visiting these occasionally quite interesting and cozy dispensers of comustibles and brews.
