The Swan & Rushes (19 Infirmary Square, Leicester LE1 5WR. [map] Tel: 0116 233 4167) A very impressive list of German beers, including lots of hefeweizens and dunkels plus Helles, Pilsner, Bock and Berliner Weisse. They also hold regular German beer festivals. There's also an impressive range of Belgian beers, and the pub specialises in gueuze... the best selected, most authentic range of gueuze/lambics I've ever seen -- fantastic!
