It's not really any more expensive than anywhere else in Munich and struck me as that typical German institution: a tourist *attraction* which is not a tourist *trap*. We sat next to a family of locals who made us feel very welcome. And the beer (especially the dunkel) was very pleasant, if possibly rather 'clean' for some people's tastes.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-28965627231804169112011-05-16T22:06:12.455+01:002011-05-16T22:06:12.455+01:00Me too Gazza but Munich is all about place not bee...Me too Gazza but Munich is all about place not beer.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-66475442566057565932011-05-16T20:56:31.853+01:002011-05-16T20:56:31.853+01:00I think Munich beer is gassy and pretty much taste...I think Munich beer is gassy and pretty much tasteless, even the much-vaunted Edelstoff.<br /><br />And yes, I've been there more than once and, yes, I've tried the beers at the places of origin...

I delayed going to HB until the last day, where ironically I tasted the best dunkel in Munich. When I return to Munich, HB will not be the last place visited nor will there be just one visit. <br /><br />Ayinger, across the street, has excellent food, and well worth more than one visit, but HB has better dunkel. I even had Helles from the wooden keg there, but I prefer dunkel, myself.<br /><br />pgeennislawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12509790459120878113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-71627401002972151502011-05-11T22:17:29.873+01:002011-05-11T22:17:29.873+01:00I spent a fortnight in Germany for the footy World...I spent a fortnight in Germany for the footy World Cup in 2006.
