Hofbrauhaus, Munich, Germany
It’s part of every tour, it’s part of German history, and it’s part of the reason I’m going back to Munich someday (hopefully with TGTG Ali!!). The Hofbrauhaus is an essential stop for any tourist, backpacker, local, and/or lone traveler. Walk in and immediately you’ll see why!
The first thing I noticed was the live music and the band, which was wearing genuine lederhosen and my personal favorite, suspenders. The music stays with you as you journey farther into the bar and begin to get a sense of what everyone loves about the Hofbrauhaus (the more I use it, the less I have to look at my notes to spell it). The combination of the fun atmosphere, the loud noises (the music seems to increase in sonar strength), the variety of smells (sauerkraut anyone?), the people laughing and drinking, and of course, the beer.
I don’t want to make it appear all the Germans do is drink their delicious frothy beer and fill their faces with pretzels. That’s just part of the cultural experience, trust me. The Munichs know how to have fun (Oktoberfest was just around the corner) but they also know where they came from and the pride of their country rests on appreciating the everyday. Not one minute did I spend in Munich where I didn’t get the feeling I was IN Germany. The wardrobe, the mustaches, I could go on and on. They simply love being German. The Hofbrauhaus is the conglomeration of that very feeling.
The friendliness of the Munichs astounded me. They were dancing, singing, having fun with our tour group, all the while swinging their pints of Weis beer with great excitement and pride.
Make a stop to the Hofbrauhaus, you won’t regret it!
