It's the whole terroir thing. isn't it? Beer often tastes best in the surroundings it belongs to, so to speak. <br /><br />And yes, city rankings are indeed weird! So much depnds on the measures you choose and how you weight them. For example, I'd increase the weighting for brewery numbers (=variety of local choice) and decrease price.

Top of my list would be Bamberg, for the sheer diversity of the city’s breweries and pubs, but Prague also features, as does Munich.<br /><br />Beers from the Bavarian capital’s “Big Six” breweries, might not be the most exciting, but when enjoyed under the summer sun, in one of Munich’s wonderfully atmospheric beer gardens, I can think of few things better.<br /><br />I also took a closer look at that list and was disappointed to see London appearing so low (No. 39 out of 40). Krakow at No.3 is also surprising, and whilst I was impressed from my Sept. 2019 visit, with what the city has to offer in terms of pubs, bars and breweries, I think it’s a little premature to place it so high in the ratings.<br /><br />There are quite a few other cities I would like to visit, that are on that list, once we’re allowed to go travelling again.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530972841308721533.post-1881100926536859992021-08-06T13:16:17.145+01:002021-08-06T13:16:17.145+01:00Fair enough!Fair enough!BryanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550482701819539081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530972841308721533.post-33298057313215150552021-08-06T02:23:00.401+01:002021-08-06T02:23:00.401+01:00The city I happen to be in at the time.The city I happen to be in at the time.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039590363732278703noreply@blogger.com
