few weeks ago that ended the Octoberfest and I can say: I was there! It was only last weekend, but it served to get an idea like that.
Well, that's like a little park attractions like a carnival Do you remember when your parents took you to the fairs, with its bumper cars, their fake guns, etc? For the Oktoberfest is the same. Or about the same. Amid all this fair booths are huge, each one of seven breweries in Munich, where no beer is served in quantities of less than one liter. Ein Mass bite. It is for these places so we know the Oktoberfest. Open as eight in the morning and close before eleven at night. Hours surprising the English. From first thing people are drinking and eating. Drinking and eating too much. But if you're English and you hope to approach the bar and Perdita something you are very much mistaken. None of the houses of Oktoberfest works. To eat something you have to ask a waitress or waiter. They are easily identified and not because they wear the traditional dress, which many people do it, but because they are always loaded with jugs and pitchers of beer. The system works well, they buy the local beer and then you sell it to you. They remain a difference I do not know who would not give a worse generous tip to one of these nice girls, or rather Teutonic ladies, after a couple of liters of beer! Come on, you have to make a paste. So, as you may have guessed, the more beers served on every trip, the more you earn. Hence the images of them, or them, carrying 10 or more beers in their hands, or not.
beer served at Oktoberfest is a beer special festivities. A lager but with a little more body and alcohol. But those who like full-bodied beers maybe this is not yours, you may prefer a beer or March Märzenbier. All the Munich breweries are compiled from February, although some also do all year. spoke of them in the post of bábaras tasting beer and I will remember that we have a great style of the English beer. Voll Damm
But if you go to outside Munich's Oktoberfest time you can also go places and very interesting beer. There are many breweries in Munich, but that better capture the festive atmosphere is perhaps the Hofbraeuhaus , in the heart of Munich. I honestly prefer quieter pubs, but beer and good food. Agustiner Brau. Hacker Pshorr Brau.
If what you want is Empar in the history of Oktoberfest beer and nothing better than:
The Museum of Oktoberfest in Munich.
Oktoberfestmuseum . This bar-restaurant-museum is housed in a small street in downtown Munich, about Isartor. Maps .
Here we can make a good Munich beer, accompanied by a Pretzel , typical Bavarian food dinner and most importantly, visit the upper floors where the official museum of the Oktoberfest.
Perhaps this is one of the few buildings that survived the Second World War, and its walls can encontrarn scenes that were common for centuries. We also have very viejunos posters and souvenirs on the Oktoberfest before your grandparents were born.
What interested me was conocecer more about the history of beer in Munich, both as elaborate as its most famous breweries. There are many breweries in Bavaria law-abiding purity, but are only seven (cotando separately and Pshorr Hacker) which are unique to the city and therefore participate in the Oktoberfest. This was not always so. At first there were many more breweries in Munich, but over time, to compete in quality, disappeared, were absovidas or gathered many of them. There was a sign explaining it in the museum.
The merger of the breweries in Munich
As the quality of beer produced by individual breweries, the old
not regulated cooling systems, were doomed to fail
. The old brewery became too small and new
moved from downtown to the stores to
along the banks of the Isar River. There, from 1850 onwards,
established large breweries with
industrial production techniques. A late 19 th century Munich had 16 large breweries.
As a result of various mergers and bankruptcies that number has now fallen
6.
I leave you with a video about the museum and my photos on it and the city of Munich.
This video was recorded in the last booth Paulaner day of Oktoberfest at noon.
