Beer

I will be in Kiel a few hours arriving with the Oslo ferry on Wednesday. Can anyone recommend a nice biergarten or pub to enjoy a mid-day beer within walking distance of the ferry terminal?
Cheers ;-)

The only beergarden in Kiel I know of is Forstbaumschule, but it will be too cold to sit outside anyway. Currently, it is freezing cold with temperaturs around -5 Celsius or 23 F in Kiel.

While Kiel's ferry terminal is pretty much downtown, the one from where the Oslo ferries leave is situated on the "wrong side" of the harbor. You'll have to get to the old town, which is not far, but perhaps a bit inconvenient. I am sure there will be some clerk happy to help.
Once there, you could try Kieler Brauerei, Am Alten Markt 9 and when I say "old town", please remember Kiel was bombed into rubble. Other than in Lübeck there isn't much left.

haha, sorry, I meant bierstube! I realise it's too cold to sit in the garten this time of year :-)
Kieler Brauerei sounds interesting! About a 20 minute walk perhaps?

Sounds about right, but I guess there's a bus, too.
When you look here:

http://maps.google.de/maps?q=Am+Alten+Markt+9+Kiel

You'll find a marker at Kieler Brauerei, a little south is Stena Line and, across the river, Color Line, with the latter one linking Kiel and Oslo.

I really think there's a bus that heads to Hauptbahnhof (Central Station). From there, it is just a stone's throw.

I see there's a bridge right next to the Oslo pier to Hauptbahnhof, so even if there's no bus, it shouldn't be much of an issue.
At first I thought you would have to go all the way around the "bay" (or take the bus), but you don't have to.

And I see Kieler Brauerei has a website, too (in German) http://www.kieler-brauerei.de/
Yes, it is a bit rustic, but there are more restaurants of course. This is basically what we call a beer cellar.

Sounds interesting!
Yes, I have been in Kiel once before, and there is a walking bridge that takes you right to the centre

Enjoyed a visit to Kieler Brauerei a few years ago as well, while passing through Kiel. Remember it as close to the port, food and beer both particularly enjoyable, prices reasonable too,
