If you are in central Europe at the end of September/beginning of October, it really is a must-see. Although it's a bit touristy, it's cool meeting people from all over the world who just came to have a beer. Makes you wonder what a couple pilsners could do for world peace.
Here we go
It's actually about 7 times bigger than you think it is, and there are carnival rides!
They call these beer tents. "Tent" was lost in translation.
Too German
This is where we ended up--probably the most famous beer tent in the world. We waited for about an hour to get in. It was 1:30.
The "tent" holds about 5,000 people. People who are there in groups often wear matching bright shirts with references to drunken debauchery in all different languages. The kids from Indiana University were annoyingest.
The band. And those are huge hanging pots of hops. Does the picture seem foggy? That's because 4,853 of the 5,000 people are currently smoking.
A couple liters in
Some German friends at our table (ps you do not sit at your table--standing room only)
Lebkuchen hearts! Too bad we didn't have anyone to buy the €17 "ich liebe dich" one for
We settled. It's still on my wall.
Thank you, come again.
We decided to see some of München before it got dark. We had a bit of a hard time finding our way around.
I don't know what these things are, but they were near one of the S-Bahn stops
The Glockenspiel at the Rathaus
So famous
We decided to give up on sightseeing and have another beer. And there were large complimentary shots of something that looked delicious. It was straight rum.
Fam--remember this place? Fi-as-co.
