Enjoy local beer and hear some of the stories behind the invention of beer and its arrival in Munich. Meet a tour guide, wearing a traditional Dirndl oder Janker and Lederhosen in the heart of the city, at Marienplatz. Start the tour with a small beer, a so-called “Schnitt” to get into the mood.
Visit the places where beer history has been made, like the famous Hofbräuhaus founded by the former Duke William V of Wittelsbach. See many secret nooks and hear stories that would be missed just by entering alone.
Pass former brewing houses and other interesting places hidden in the crooked lanes of the old town while on the way to the Beer and Oktoberfest Museum. Sit down for the first proper beer tasting, and enjoy pretzels with the beer. Admire the beautiful old building with rough brick walls and a beautiful atmosphere. Learn how people managed to brew in the Middle Ages, and why the Bavarian Dukes passed a purity law.
Move upstairs and visit the museum, an incredible collection of items, including the model of Carl von Linde's machine that modernised beer cooling, and a picture of the first Oktoberfest in 1810.
Cross the street and arrive at another historic place, the Weisses Bräuhaus, and enjoy the complete Bavarian “Brotzeit” and a drink - stay as long as desired. Say goodbye to the tour guide once the food arrives, and enjoy the Bavarian food.
