5 tips for enjoying beer in Leipzig

Have you ever tried Leipziger Gose? The sour beer, which is actually a very special type of beer, was the most drunk beer in the trade fair city around 1900, so Leipzig also referred to itself as the "Gose city". Like most beers, Gose used to be created through spontaneous fermentation. Today, Gose is produced using the top-fermented brewing method. In addition to alcoholic fermentation, bacterial lactic acid fermentation also takes place. This leads to the typical sour taste. And it gets even more special: cooking salt and coriander are further additions to the gose.

Can't imagine? Give it a try! For example in the Gosenschenke without hesitation or in the Bayerischer Bahnhof. Because you don't leave Leipzig without drinking a typical Gose.

Experience the Irish art of brewing in the middle of Leipzig? No problem! Leipzig has a wide range of Irish pubs to offer. Centrally located is the Kildare City Pub, which you can find in Barfußgässchen. Here you can enjoy a delicious Guiness and also watch live broadcasts of various soccer matches. Irish holidays - such as St. Patrick's Day - are also celebrated in the pub in style.

But many other Irish pubs are also worth a visit: Killywilly in the Südvorstadt district serves Irish beer as well as typical Irish food from the island. The quaint pubs of Morrison's Irish Pub, McCormack's or Noels Ballroom you should also have seen them if you want to judge the Irish drinking culture in our city. ;)
