Brauhaus Ernst August

Frommer's Review

This is a beer lover's Valhalla, established both as a brewery and a restaurant 2 decades ago. It specializes in only one kind of brew, a Pils, with no preservatives added, priced at 3.20€ ($5.10) for a half-liter. At the on-site gift shop you can buy all sorts of items related to beer, including mugs and the evocative beer bottles with porcelain stoppers, which invading GIs in 1945 named "snap daddies." Old-fashioned Hannoverian specialties are featured, and everything is tasty and filling, including a goulash that's a meal in itself and a rich cream of potato soup. Wursts are the most popular items, although steaks, schnitzels, spare ribs, and chicken cutlets are also available. In spring, asparagus dishes dominate the menu. It's customary to precede your beer drinking or eating with a bolting shot of Brauerschluck (Brewer's Gulp), a lethal schnapps brewed on-site.
