Hi
I was in Germany last summer and spent some time in Munich. Of course I visited the world famous Hofbrauhaus beer hall which has been in existance since 1589. They claim that they are the largest beer hall in the world and sell over 5000 gallons of beer each day. I believe it. They serve a great helles lager? ale? in a 36 oz mug. They export this HB beer in bottles to the USA but it is in my opinion nowhere near as good as the tap beer in Munich. The drinking age for beer and wine in Munich is 16 but I don't think it is enforced. I didn't see any sign of drunkiness anywhere.
Does anyone have a recipe for this beer so that I can make it here. Either with extracts or all grain. I'm not set up to make Lagers. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
