Today's journey brought us north of the Austrian border to the village of Munich; home of Oktoberfest and well known for its proclivity to the pint. Our brief sojourn around the downtown ended with a visit to the Hofbrauhaus, a veritable institution of everything beer here in Munich. While it was no Full Moon Pale Ale, as the cats at Alley Kat can attest, it was definitely a welcome slice of Bavarian culture. Locals know: only 1L measures after 6 pm. Prosit!
