A small drinks store in a big box retail location in Rückmarsdorf, a suburb in the western part of the city. Best reached by car, but there are occasional bus connections from the main station as well. There are several beers from Germany on offer, many of which are well-known and widely distributed ones, but also including local specialties (like Gose), regional beers and beers from small craft breweries. The international offer - which seemed rather pricey to me - includes beers from Belgium, the UK and the US, e.g. some from Young’s, Flying Dog, Chimay or Williams Brothers). Due to the mixed quality of the assortment, one will need to choose wisely what to buy (some beers seem to be solely aimed at label or bottle collectors). Despite the name of the shop, I do not think that they stock one thousand beers there at the same time, though!
