The Platzl in downtown Munich where the Hofbräuhaus is located

I was in Munich, Germany for a quick stopover and only had an afternoon to explore – so of course I wanted to check out a Bavarian bräuhaus! I found out later that perhaps I chose the most touristy one in the city, but I really enjoyed having lunch at the more than 500 year old Hofbräuhaus, the most famous beer hall in Munich! I enjoyed a giant mug of Hofbräu Original, a pretzel, and 2 original Munich veal sausages!

I really loved the band!

I just ordered the illustrations – a pretzel and the original Munich veal sausages!
