and it's going to get rowdy but that's just a monday night in munich for you
alright guys so greetings from munich it is evening the sun is starting to go down and we
are about to take you guys out for a bavarian beer and food tour yeah our appetite is mighty
we're thirsty too and so we can't wait to go around and see all the different places that
we can try some delicious food yeah so for this activity we've teamed up with viator they're a
booking platform and that's where we found this particular foodie and beer tour and i'm pretty
excited because we have been drinking a lot of beer in the city but we have yet to visit one of
their famous beer halls so this is going to be a really fun experience three and a half hours
with a guide a fun group and yeah let's see what kind of fresh beverage we find totally can't wait
okay so this is beer count number one on the tour we are starting with a palace it is a very
light beer we just met up with our guide and the rest of the group well isn't that a great
way to start things off the beer in a parking lot parking lot everyone doing a gross together
getting to know each other oh i finished it they finished it like most others i'm halfway through
mine yeah it was great we got to find out where everyone was from we've got some people from
denmark and the lederhosen their full oktoberfest attire yes and i learned something new you're
allowed to drink your beer on the streets here in germany yes an open carry open carry law we don't
have that in canada so that's yeah we're not so lucky with that but we can't take it on the train
so i kind of have to finish it or leave it so i'm working on it you're working on it there you go
changes
cheers
okay so we just took the train to marienplatz
and just two stops two stops we are following the group i i forgot what did he say we're doing so
we're going to the oktoberfest museum in munich ah okay and then beer halls
i think we're eventually finishing off the tour in the final beer hall
and it's kind of like after what three or four hours together he's like
you're on your own now the night is young you can do as you wish
our first stop of the night was the beer and oktoberfest museum
located in munich's oldest townhouse which dates back to 1340.
we did a fun beer tasting here sampling three different types of beer what do we have here
people keep their personal shines under lock and key wow that's amazing look at that
watch your head
so
we started off with the helles which is a pale lager this beer was definitely
right up my alley some salted pretzels also appeared as a nice little snack
next we tried a dunkles which is a dark beer a munich dunkle is characterized by its low
bitterness malty flavor and dark color which can range from amber to a dark reddish brown
sam really enjoyed this one and now we've moved on to the dunkles you can see the color
nice a hint of brown there so cheers here we go which one do you like the most so far
i'm a light beer drinker i think we've figured out that much and i'm not so obviously i like the
darker one so complete opposite preferences but we're both having a good time so far
and the last beer we tried at this place was the vice pia which is a wheat beer this one
had some surprising banana notes and proved to be another favorite the wheat bean white beer
full of electrolytes apparently it's full of electrolytes what do you have in the morning
and it was the royal family's beer that's right and that might be the lightest of them
this is right up my alley okay that's something that works
they call it the german or the bavarian electrolyte
so one of the things i'm loving the most so far about the tour is just the casual nature
of everything everyone's joking everyone's mingling everyone's having a good time
yeah the night's just begun wait till we get to the later rounds
after sampling those three beers we visited the oktoberfest museum here we learned about
the origins of oktoberfest which date back to 1810 when a horse race was held to celebrate
the wedding of crown prince ludwig and princess therese of saxony hillberghausen the citizens of
munich were invited to attend the festivities held on the fields in front of the city gates the event
proved to be very popular and was repeated again a year later and then eventually carnival booths
games and other attractions were added to the mix and so what started out as
the celebration of a royal wedding turned into one of the biggest parties in the world
after visiting the museum it was time to go down the famous medieval staircase which
extends from the attic all the way to the ground floor in one single unbroken line
just watch your head if you're on the taller side
the good times they continue so this is our third stop of the night
but fifth beer we're starting to lose track here um but we are at weisses beer house
and our group's already going in they're going in it's lively so we better
now about the food we mentioned this tour we booked through viator it was a bavarian food
and beer tour and this is the part where we got to sample some new to us foods
included in the experience was the brew house cold platter featuring smoked meat
liver cheese pickled vegetables mountain cheese bavarian cheese dark bread a pretzel
and lard i know some of these foods may sound a bit unusual
but trust me they taste even better than they sound plus the beer kept flowing i went for the
vice beer which is the wheat beer i mentioned earlier the fruity banana flavors won me over
you just finished what year was it five the
a lot of beer yeah on this bavarian beer tour we can guarantee that much yeah and
we are now walking towards our final brewery of the night we're going to finish off at the
most famous one of them the hof boy house yeah i can't wait to go there
it should be extremely festive the last place we were in had a really nice cozy environment
and we had a chance to kind of sit down and just chat with a lot of people who are on the tour and
very social like so many so many social opportunities with this team
this is what vlogging in public is like um what was i gonna say oh yeah yeah you were talking
about it being cozy that's the word we learned today at the start of the tour gemutlichkeit yes
that's cozy feeling yes you right you do not drink your beer until everyone has theirs apparently
it's extremely rude to have it early and when you're doing your broast you look everyone in the
eye in the eye the other thing we learned too was the origin of the city name was munch as in monk
so the city of the monks apparently they uh yeah and apparently they were some of the first brewers
as well so we are continuing that tradition and we are going for more beer warm beer coming up
last but not least we couldn't end this beer tour without visiting munich's most famed
beer hall of all hofbrau house started out as the royal brewery in the kingdom of bavaria
and it quickly became known for its vice beer which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat
relative to the amount of malted barley now i couldn't tell you if we actually got
vice beer at this place or the specially brewed oktoberfest beer all i know is that a one liter
stein of beer showed up at the table and the festivities continued roast roast frost roast
it is fantastic we've been here in the main beer hall in munich now for a couple hours
it's getting closer to midnight the atmosphere here it's like going to a sporting event
a birthday party and a beer garden of course all rolled into one there's chants
there's yelling there's sometimes some breaking of glass it's just so merry and festive in here it
just has that roar of a of a stadium like you're going to a live soccer a football a baseball game
you hear the roar of the of the crowd to be honest sometimes they'll be like pounding
on the table doing a song the atmosphere is so electric you have to come here to experience it
even the way i've explained it doesn't do it justice you have to be here to really understand
what it's like to be in a festive german beer hall well french hello so we just finished that awesome
bavarian beer and food tour yeah it must be close to midnight we ended up hanging out with our our
group of fellow travelers at the roy house at the beer house oh my gosh the beer hall we ended up
okay we just asked for beer and they got the guy brought one liter steins of beer that's
what's available that's what's available you're getting one liter of beer i mean so if you're
going on a beer tour in germany yeah you're not gonna be drinking little you know we and prior
to having that liter of beer we had already had five or six not leaders no but beers taste taste
so i mean incredible experience i mean what a great way to finish off the tour because yeah when
you end up in the beer hall it's by far the most festive you're already kind of feeling a bit of a
nice buzz you've built up some rapport with your group and you're ready to have a good time yeah
and we sure did i mean we experience songs we experience chants we experienced music we had
great conversation and of course we were drinking beer and eating giant pretzels yeah so overall an
amazing experience we'd highly recommend this tour once again we booked through viator it was
the bavarian beer and food experience and yeah it was just so much fun and you make new friends
you get to walk around and feel like you're really a part of the city you wouldn't figure
out a tour like this on your own let me tell you yeah we we wouldn't have done all these things
tonight have we not joined this so so now we are waiting to catch the train back to the hotel
we've got a 20-minute train ride ahead of us and we'll be seeing you in the next video tata friends
