Andorfer Weissbräu

Passau


High on a hill 1.5km north of the Altstadt, this rural beer garden attached to the Andorfer brewery serves filling Bavarian favourites, but the star of the show is the outstanding Weizen (wheat beer) and Weizenbock (strong wheat beer) brewed metres away. Take bus 7 from the ZOB to Ries-Rennweg.
