Mike or any of you that were in Toelz, can correct me on this. Anyway. Somewhere around 10am, there was this deal called Brot Zeit (Bread time). A mid morning break. I remember through the years I was there, Seeing a case of beer being hauled up on a crane on this, that construction site.  Damn! I had worked construction before I went in. We had the morning break, all that showed up was the 'Roach Coach'.  |
That´s why Bavarians drink beer for breakfast. Keeps the brain from rusting away... hahaha. Thank God I´m at least half a Bavarian (other half is Texan, which is just as bad... ).
Brad, affirmative. Some things never change. Brotzeit is still there. Not only at 10am, but also in the afternoon or a cold dinner is called a Brotzeit (bread-time).
When I was 14 I saved up money for my DL, jobbing for construction sites. One of my duties was to get cases of beer (on my bicycle !), bringing the first one to the construction site before school (7am !). Then 2 after school (1300 hours) and 2 or 3 more before "Feierabend" at 1700h sharp. I made $5 an hour back then !
By he way, in Bavaria they never ID you when you buy beer, since it´s considered "liquid bread" here.

The reunion in Toelz next fall is a great idea Mike.

Thanks Brad, I think so too. We should do that while we can...
I´m sure the surrounding breweries will have plenty of resupply for us...
The traditional Bavarian Brotzeit always contains a beer, or two.
