+1. You Sir are absolutely correct. The Hofbräuhaus in L.V. is like Disneyland in Paris. A lookalike, but not quite the same.

At least the beer at HB in Vegas is the original stuff from Munich...

@mitchw: no offense, but you should read the SOP for this forum before getting your ass chewed by one of our QP hosts here (proper introduction etc.). :cool:

Bet they don't sing this one in LV.

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa ...
Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa ...
Da hat so mancher brave Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa ...
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

Da, wo die grüne Isar fließt,
Wo man mit "Grüß Gott" dich grüßt,
Liegt meine schöne Münch'ner Stadt,
Die ihresgleichen nicht hat.
Wasser ist billig, rein und gut,
Nur verdünnt es unser Blut,
Schöner sind Tropfen gold'nen Wein's,
Aber am schönsten ist eins:

Da trinkt man Bier nicht aus dem Glas,
Da gibt's nur "die große Maß!"
Und wenn der erste Maßkrug leer,
Bringt dir die Reserl bald mehr.
Oft kriegt zu Haus die Frau 'nen Schreck,
Bleibt der Mann mal länger weg.
Aber die braven Nachbarsleut',
Die wissen besser Bescheid!

Wenn auch so manche schöne Stadt
Sehenswürdigkeiten hat,
Eins gibt es nirgendwo wie hier:
Das ist das Münchener Bier.
Wer dieses kleine Lied erdacht
Hat so manche lange Nacht
Über dem Münchener Bier studiert
Und hat es gründlich probiert.

I preferred hanging out at the Spatenbraueri - liked the bier better there and it was on the Marienplatz - but the schweinshaxe mit bier und bretzel at the HB was the BEST.

I recommend that you read the rules and stickies and comply before posting again.

Sir, it still IS. :cool: I'll be in the DFW area with my HH6 from MAY 22 to JUNE 2 next year. Want me to slip a few Spaten Bier in my duffle bag ? :D

The Blomberg Bahn
 

My team used to do 1-wk commo ex's on the Blomberg. The best part was the ride w/ruck back down on the rodelbahn. Unfortunately the things weren't designed for the high center of gravity one has when wearing a ruck...

That was nice Richard,

The Hofbrauhaus and the Lowenbraukeller were my two favorite places to go to whenever I was in Munich. I ate plenty of weisswurst and schweinhaxen too.

Prost!

I went there once with 032, on the way back from an ex with the Luftwaffe in Penzberg (we played OPFOR and I was fortunate enough to be adopted by the team for this mission). On the way back to Flint we stopped at Blombergbahn, pulled into the parking lot with two trucks. Couldn't leave the gear on the trucks, so we dragged it along... haha.

I took the photo in front of the teamhouse at Flint. They tore it down, the ice hockey thing is there now...:mad:

The only face visible here is the one of Bill McNeil. No PERSEC violated. He passed away a couple of years ago in NC. RIP brother.

Mike,

Appreciate the gesture but we can get Spaten here locally - even on tap in a couple of places...and carrying a .5L worth of bier in all those TSA authorized 3 oz containers would be way too much work.

I'll be in Tuscany for a couple of weeks in April and hope to find some fine German biers up in the northern end of the region near the Tirol area. ;)

Richard

Richard,

affirmative ! I did bring some Weissbiers with me when I was in Mesquite in May this year (6x.5 Liter). I think Spaten would taste funny in a 3 ounce container... LOL. I even brought back some .30-.30 ammo to Germany (legally, that is).

Enjoy the Tuscany ! I rode down there a couple of years ago to see a buddy who was stationed at Camp Darby at that time. I'm sure you will find plenty of Bier in the Lake Garda region, alot of southern Germans go there for the weekend.

Maybe you can share something about Italian beers Richard, or do they drink anything other than wine?

I spent a year in Italy, then went back for Alpini School and a couple of exercises...the Italians brew beer, but should stick to wine...

I second that. Absolutely.

I gotz a 'frigerator gefuellt wit Aventis...

We'don need no stinkin' Eye-talian bier...

So many memories.
