title_body: What kind or kinds of beer are common in Bavaria, Germany?
upvoted_answer: Was the beer that you tried pale yellow, slightly sour in flavour and cloudy? If so it was probably Weissbier which is Bavarian wheat based beer. Any Weissbier or wheat beer should be similar to it and these are widely available (some British and American breweries have started to make wheat beers recently). If you like Weissbier you will probably like the Saison (style) beers from France and Belguim.
  
  It the beer was dark coloured it was probably the highly seasonal and delicious Bockbier which is extremely difficult to get outside Bavaria and out of season.
