Higgins Ale Works is a craft beer lovers home away from home. Being from Michigan, a state that has hundreds of microbreweries, and having visited dozens throughout the state (and many others around the US), my wife and I and a gaggle of family members wanted to try out this brewery while in Munich. We were all here for Oktoberfest (Wiesn) so we were preparing to drink many festbiers, along with German style beers (helles, marzens, dunkels and Hefeweizens) during our stay.
German beers are good, and the freshness of the festbiers at Wiesn is undeniable. However, in a city, state and country that takes pride in their styles of beer, there are not too many places that caters to a craft beer lover. But it was our goal to find a great tasting pale ale in Munich. And Higgins Ale Works did not disappoint! We tried just about all their offering during the two times we visited and they were all very good.
We met the owners, Paul and Jen and they were friendly and gracious hosts. The servers we met were also very nice. Locals and travelers we met were friendly with a smile and a "hallo".
We would highly recommend any craft beer maven, aficionado, fan to stop by Higgins Ale Works while visiting Munich. You will be happy that you did. It's a small, laid back tap room that makes you feel like being back home at your own favorite local microbrewery.
There's something to be said in doing your craft well on a small scale so you know the passion in making a good product is there. I'm Tom Perez and I endorse this message!!
