Kraftpaule

Top choice in Stuttgart


Competition is stiff but for our money this might just be Stuttgart's coolest new-wave craft microbrewery and bar. The bartenders really know their stuff, the selection of beers – from IPAs to stouts, single hop brews and wheat beers – is wunderbar, and the vibe easygoing in the bare-wood-tabled and terracotta-tiled interior. Check the website for details on tastings.

In late April they host a two-day craft beer festival.
