Hofbrau Dunkel

Hmm, I am back at work today after a hectic two weeks living out of my backpack. I know I promised a revised format, but for now you will have to wait till I have time to implement my transformation! For the next few days however I will cover the events of the last couple weeks.
Some time after my last post, I met up with the in-laws and headed out for Munich - land of beer, pork knuckle, sausages and German people. Can't win them all and three out of four ain't bad! (that was a joke for any German readers who may or may not have a sense of humour, actually they don't hence this strike through). Anyhow, in an effort to help the in-laws overcome jet lag I decided to take them out in Munich in the freezing cold. We first headed to the Christmas markets for some Gluewein before heading into the much clichéd Hofbrau haus for a feast. As per usual, I ordered the gastronomic treat that is pork knuckle, which I am pleased to announce is now served with extra crispy crackling and opted for ein Krugen of the Dunkel.

It went down rather well and my only disappointment is that jet lag finally overpowered the old volks and I was forced to leave after only one beer. Boo hoo.

Pork knuckle kicks some arse, eh?? Did you ever get to Kloster Andechs? Their Doppelbock is kick arse! Glad your back on board Von Tymmy!

Yep, i'm back with a brand new invention. I have been to Kloster Andechs before, but not on this trip. it was just a quick stop over in Munich on our way to Salzburg.
