This atmospheric brewery and distillery is the place to come for a one-of-a-kind local tipple. You can see the copper kettles where the brewery's superb Rotbier (red beer) is made, as well as sampling the locally produced single-malt whisky, organic gin, and malt liqueur.
Not only the city's best beer garden (tucked away in a courtyard behind the ACHAT Hotel), Weltenburg am Dom also serves the city's best beer: a selection of brews, varying from pale gold to jet black, from the nearby Klosterbrauerei Weltenburg—the world's oldest monastery brewery. Even if the weather's bad, you can still enjoy them in the cozy, wood-beamed interior. Feeling peckish? Opt for the exceptional Bockbier Schnitzel; tenderized pork with a mustard pretzel breading, slathered in beer sauce and covered in crispy onions.
