The wife and I are heading to Munich for a week in November. I’m going to hit the big name breweries, but does anyone have recommendations for smaller or more out of the way places? Non beer related stuff would be great too. Thanks!
I thought this was going to be about different types of Munich malt. Anyway, have a good time & enjoy some beer.
Oh, and Klosterbrau- also a short train ride and a bit of a hill climb but totally worth it!

Eat and drink every chance you get The food and beer are amazing.
Aying is a short train ride from Munich- a nice village with a great Biergarten and Ayinger Brewery.
Yes do thisIn the English Garden. Especially if the weather is nice. Get beers at location 1, then take them to location 2 and consume.

I was in frankfurt a couple months ago and loved it there. I had some Bavarian Hefeweizen for the first time, and now I can see why a lot of brewers make it. Seriously good stuff and I think it's one of the best session beers for a hot day.
You will have fun wherever you go. The wait staff was rude to me and my family at Hofbrauhaus. So I try to tell everybody to stay away. Much better places to go.
The smoked beers in Bamberg are worth the trip. They are by far my favorite beers in Germany. There's like 200 breweries there, but Shlenkerla and Speizel are a must. Bamberg is also a really cute city guaranteed to dazzle SWMBO. If you can make it, it will be a highlight of your trip.
Also, eat pork shoulder/knuckle every chance you get. It's amazing.
I agree- Bamberg is a wonderful quaint city that is highly walkable. Munich is great- it's a large city with much to offer, but Bamberg is a favorite even for Germans. If you walk to Speizel from the Schlenkerla brewery, it's ALL uphill. But the view (and the beers) are worth it, as it's one of the prettiest biergartens in the most picturesque location. The only better view is probably at Andechs.

Just hope your lucky and don't get there right after one of the river cruise boat docs.
Ha- good point. We stayed there for several days, and I didn't see any cruise boats at all. Really, I think Bamberg is a 'don't miss' place if you can do it.
