It's been absolutely bonkers on all 3 recent visits (in the last 8 days). Be prepared to wait outside or share tables. Also FYI - they close @ 7pm Mon & Tue so be sure to arrive in good time (no later than 5pm, just to be sure).

When in Heidelberg last autumn we found a bar which offered about 10 Riegele beers. Tried them all & was very impressed.

Great photo! Btw, the 33cl bottle you had recently - was that your only bottle or do you have some more? Interested to figure out what was up with it.

Btw also had it in @ The Pub a few days ago. As always, it's the previous year's, so this is draft 2024 & it's just as good as the 2023 was this time last year.

Yep, had it twice now & loved it both times. Just to be sure, I called in two experts to give their views. Both @daveratkins.bsky.social & my Untappd pal Jason concur, this year's is bang on form.
