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.
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. |
I remember it as a morning break thing and afternoon. Mostly the morning one got me.
You didn't see that in Northern Germany. I checked.
LOL..... great job for a 14 year old. Back then, at that age, That is a great wage.
Yup, In some of the family owned Gasthofs I um visited. I saw kids that were 5 or so climbing up on stuff when the parents wern't there for a minute and drinking out of the old collected beer glasses or mugs. Then They would be busted. The old stuff taken away and the dad or mom would draw them some Frisch bier. Just a couple sips.
