Graz Pub Guide
Bars - Beerhalls - Beer gardens

Introduction
Graz - Austria's second city - was European cultural capital in 2003. I expect readers of these pages will be more interested to learn that it's home to four breweries, three of them brewpubs.

Pubs
Austrian pubs - and those of Graz are no exception - have lots in common with those over the border in the Czech Republic. Half litre measures, reasonably-priced food and vaulted ceilings are the features that most readily spring into my mind.

Beer
The beers of Brau Union dominate Graz. Either those from the city's remaining large brewery (Reininghaus-Puntigam) of from nearby Göss (Gösser).
