Introduction
This is a short guide to beer pubs in Aachen.

Once the centre of Europe, sadly little of Charlemagne's capital remains (the odd wall excepted). Wartime bombing wan't the only culprit, the Americans and Gernans fought a couple of battles in the city, too.

A specialist beer shop in the small town of Würselen, just north of Aachen.

While the claim to sell 2,846 beers from 63 countries is wildly optimistic, it does stock at least 400-500. There are enough beers from small German breweies not usually distributed outside their region to make it worth a visit. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly, with enough knowledge to keep the unfiltered beers upright.
