Not sure if you are looking to Take Home or Drink There, but here's a good starting reference:

Oddly, nothing specific about Heidleberg, but lots of information to sort thru nonetheless.

Wow, Ken, that website is fantastic!

Heidelberg is in Baden-Wurttenberg as is Lake Constance (except for Lindau where I am staying and is just across the border in Bavaria). Oh, yes and Tsores
Vetter is listed there, Alt Heidelberg.

Just now, I am drinking "on-site" although I may get a bottle of wine for US. Any wine ideas?

We stayed in Heidelberg over Easter one year with our kids (then 8 & 5) at a great B&B near the Castle. They had chocolate Easter bunnies for each of the kids that morning! Not anything to do with beer, but it was a great time and fun city! (Although my son somehow fell in love with the stuff in a marionette shop and we left it with me $200 poorer) But we had "Great Performances" for the next 3 years! And some great food.

If you are looking to drink there and not take out, in Heidelberg try Vetter. It what we would call a micro-brewery. They have several good varieties, including their plain old house brew.

They also have one of my all time favorite meals-- weiner schnitzel holsteiner style. Fried potatoes topped with breaded cutlets topped with fried eggs.

They are located a few steps from the cathedral at:
Steingasse 9
69117 Heidelberg, Germany
+49 6221 165850

I am going next week to Germany: Heidelberg, Lake Constance.

Any specific recommendations (brands) for beverages?

I know you can just walk into a supermarket (markt, that is) and get great wine $5 bottle off the shelf, beer cases on sale like soda ...
