Absolutely this. Pet peeve of mine actually. We have a beer bar here that has over 120 beers, guess how many are German... about 7. Mostly weizens too which is the ONE German style I don't like that I've had. Grumble grumble grumble....that focus mostly on German beer? In fact it's fairly rare to even see a German style at most brewpubs. Most brewpubs seem to focus on the major American and British styles. Some throw a couple of Belgians in there for good measure.I really like German styles. I know they generally aren't the most xtreme but they are solid styles that are delicious. I'd def go to a place that focused on the German and threw in some good German food to go with it.

German Ales would need to be a staple.Cause they usually have limited capacity and you can turn ales over much faster than lagers....

As a case and point Penn brewery is one of my all time favorites. Its one of the places I miss and a beer I always get when I'm back in the Burgh. They definitely make some phenomenal German style beers.Penn Brewing in Pittsburgh has been brewing German lagers for over 20 years.https://www.pennbrew.com/

Actually the Pennsylvania Dutch are German immigrants, they just ain't that into making beerThere are German themed brewpubs around, just not very many and it's variable with region. The Northeast is pretty thin on German immigrants so there aren't many around.

That's really for the lagers but honestly you just need an extra lagering tank or two to keep some lagers around. Make the other stuff ales and you are good to go.Like everyone has said, time and extra energy is probably the biggest issue.

How are the beers?There are German themed brewpubs around, just not very many and it's variable with region. The Northeast is pretty thin on German immigrants so there aren't many around.Gardner Ale House, down the road from me, does a Pils, Vienna, Kolsch, Alt, Doppelbock, Oktoberfest and Hefe, plus the standard American/Brit offerings. They even close down the street outside the brewery for an Oktoberfest celebration.

See, that's what you need right there. A good local brewery that makes fresh German beer... then close down the street, get some grills going and some picnic tables down & get the beer flowing. Then the band takes the stage and the waitresses with the skimpy outfits come by and Whoa, whoa, whoa! What was the question again?Gardner Ale House, down the road from me, does a Pils, Vienna, Kolsch, Alt, Doppelbock, Oktoberfest and Hefe, plus the standard American/Brit offerings.

Decent, I've only been there twice and I haven't had all the offerings yet, but thus far it's been a positive impression. I'm not a bar guy, but they do also have some pretty darn good food.How are the beers?
I think he was asking, why isn't there more of this:See, that's what you need right there.
