My favorite Vienna pub for Ottakringer is Liebhart, which is just a
short walk away from the brewery. I can see why you might think that
Kapsreiter is part of Ottakringer, if you found their beer in an
Ottakringer pub, but that's not so unusual in Vienna, which is a
great city for beer-drinkin'. If only the Germans would adopt the
relative open-mindedness about beer that the Austrians have...
