Gerry ventures to Munich, drinks amazing beer

I arrived in Munich, and beer capital of the world and home of the world famous Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, I was here in June, but that didn't stop me from sampling some of the fine local brews! I went to the famous Hofbrahhaus, where all good beer enthusiasts must go at some point in their life. It's like our Jerusalem. Our Mecca. Our Holy Land. I had the HBH Munchner Weisse, which comes in a half liter for 3.85 euros.

This wheat beer puts its american counterparts to shame. This full bodied blonde warms the throat as it goes down, and complements nicely the bratwurst and pretzels you eat at this restaurant. It comes in full liter versions as well, and I most likely would have done this if I didn't have a train to get to. WHile there, I also sampled an odd combination, this beer mixed with lemonade. Although it didn't taste bad, it is not something worth repeating. The beer itself is too much of a joy to be mixed with anthing else.

P.S. John would like to add that this beer is fucking great, and you need to buy it right now.
