For as beautiful as Switzerland is, I wish they had a better craft beer scene! Regardless, there is some good beer throughout the country. However, there are no open container laws in Switzerland, so find a specialty shop (such as Drinks of the World) to pick up a couple bottles of something tasty and walk around.
