However, you should be able to find very good beer, as John says, since you're in Germany, after all.
Germans always say this, but aside from the lovely smoked beer you can buy in the Jolly Butchers, all the so-called "good" German beers I have had are too thin and have pretty much tasted of nothing. White beers and wheat beers are better in this respect, but if I'm going for that type of ale the Belgians smash the Germans out of the park for quality and flavour.
I blame the purity laws.
