Looking for Munich area beers

[MeridianFC]

I'm looking for anyone who can get a hold of any of the following:

Andechs Dunkel
Andechs Hell

Augustiner Dunkel
Augustiner Lagerbier Hell (this is not the same as the Augustiner available in the US)

I'll trade anything that one finds interesting that I can get a hold of, Dogfish Head and Dominion being the nearest. I will also pay hard cash.

I'm sorry for reviving this thread but I'm a Munich born german who's craving for a Augustinerbr�u Lagerbier Hell. I moved to California a few months ago and I can't seem to find a single (!) liquor store in whole California that sells the "Helles". I'd rather drink "Edelstoff" than nothing but I do love my Helles :D

I live in Ventura County about an hour north of LA and I wouldn't mind taking a 4 hour drive if I can get a crate of Helles or two - seriously!

If anyone can help me out, please don't hesitate to answer...I tried almost everything. I contacted "Augustiner Br�u" in M�nchen, "Global Village Imports" (http://www.gviimports.com/distributors.html) and even "Western Food & Beverage" in Huntington Beach, CA (714-965-6938). No one could name me a retail store or a liquor store that would deliver or mail it to me.

As long as this thread has been revived (from 2 years ago), can anyone describe the definitive differences between the Helles and the Edelstoff?

By the Augustiner web site, it looks like both are available in Germany - and they call the Edelstoff an Export (though Beer Advocate calls them both Helles).

One of the local good paint stores carries Augustiner in 6 packs ($10 or so a sixer!), but I can't recall if it's Edelstoff or the Helles.
