German beer and Florida Gators football

What could be better than beer and football?

German beer and Florida Gators football.

In Gainesville, on University Avenue there is a little place called Stubbies and Steins, where the imported beer flows like water.

The restaurant, named after the nicknames for a mug of beer in Australia and Germany, offers hundreds of import beers from around the globe as well as German food.

On any given day, besides Sundays and Mondays when they are closed, there are 15-20 beers on tap as well as endless bottled options from countries like England, Ireland, Australia, Germany and Belgium.

In all honesty, the beer menu can be a little daunting at first. This is where the benefit of a helpful and knowledgeable staff plays in; the servers and bartenders really know what they are talking about when it comes to beer.

Guests can also drink alcoholic ciders and wines, as well as non-alcoholic drinks. But ironically, the restaurant does not have a liquor license, which means you'll have to get that Jack and Coke elsewhere. This can actually be a good thing, because at Stubbies you know you won't have to deal with wasted college students ordering rounds of Jagerbombs.

And although the beer is obviously the biggest incentive to visit, the food is delicious too. Nothing compares to hot, Belgian "Pommes Frites", or French fries. And bratwurst doesn't go to badly with beer either. :)

So next time you are looking to try some REALLY good beer, or German food, I definitely recommend Stubbies and Steins. You won't be disappointed.
