Augustiner Keller Beer Garden
Munich is bar far one of the best cities in Europe, I don't think there is many that will argue that. Its also amusing how when you travel country to country, to start reflecting on that 1/10 of you that might have some of that countries heritage. Well I am officially 1/4 German, but when I was in Munich I felt full blooded. The comradery in the city is unparrallel to anything you will find in the US.
I was fortunate enough to be completely confused by the euro-train system. I missed my train in Munich 4 times in one afternoon and had to wait till the next day to catch one. Did I complain? No. There is no complaining in Europe because everyday is the next best day of your life. I saw it as a sign that I had missed something in Munich and I needed to stay and find it. Well I found it...Augustiner Keller's Beer Garden. Fortunately we found it within 4 blocks of the train station.
The picture above could not describe it any better. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of people at once drinking Augustiner Steins- around 4 normal size beers. These cups are bigger than your head! Two of them and you will be trying to sing the German soccer chants :) We actually were in Munich right after they had won a huge Euro league soccer game. You cannot believe these people...they were going crazy. That night we took it in doors to a "beer hall" which was on the same property. Being cheap Americans that we were, we bought a case of beer and snuck it in, much to the disapproval of the locals and eventually leading to our departure of the hall.
There is a ton to do in Munich from site seeing to laying out on lake beaches. Before you go, do your research by reading lots of Munich travel blogs.
