Starkbierfest in Paulaner am Nockherberg
Strong beer festival at Paulaner am Nockherberg
1 March 2008
|
Every year during the fasting time all the beer breweries in Munich celebrate the Starkbier festival. During the short period, they brew the Starkbier (Strong beer), a type of dark beer with more than 7% alcohol. Among them, Paulaner brewery is the most popular with their Starkbier "Salvator". We went to the Paulaner am Nockherberg restaurant on 5. During the festival, there is €1 entrance fee just to enter the beer garden area. The situation is similar like oktoberfest, many people are wearing dirndl or lederhose. 1 Maß beer(1 liter mug) costs € 7,95 and the food price are quite acceptable. I ordered a Steckerlfisch(grilled Mackerel), which cost me € 9. The other food also cost from € 8 - € 13, just like normally. But be careful with the Starkbier. Because of the higher alcohol percentage, many people told me not to drink more than 2 mugs. |

In the market stands, you can find many varieties of ginger bread (Lebküchen). The ginger bread is mostly sold under the name "Nürbernger Lebküchen", showing that it's the speciality from Nuremberg.
Juliette and the Licks @ Georg Elser Hallen
Also... heute bin ich zum Konzert von den Juliette and the Licks in dem Georg Elser Hallen gegangen.
Frag mich nicht wer die sind... sogar nach dem Konzert kenne ich ihre Lieder noch gar nicht...
Tja... aber es ist OK... Dirk und Vodj wieder zu treffen war ja sowieso der Hauptgrund. Dass das Konzert besser war als ich dachte, ist der Abend ganz gut gelaufen.
Third Visit to Oktoberfest
Hofbräu Festzelt, Sunday, 1. October 2006
with Oliver, Bianca and Silke
|
Oliver, my university mate @ FH Wiesbaden is coming to Munich specially for the Oktoberfest. On Sunday, I joined him and his 2 school friends, Bianca and Silke to Oktoberfest, for the third time. It was around 12 and we already couldn't enter the Schottenhammel Zelt. We moved to Hacker Pschorr Zelt, but there we waited to find table for more than 30 minutes, without any success. The tent beside the Hacker Pschorr tent is the Hofbräu Festzelt. It is the biggest tent in the Oktoberfest and there... we finally got a table. |
Second Visit to Oktoberfest
Fischer Vroni Tent, 19. September 2006
|
Today is my second visit to Oktoberfest. I joined some colleagues from my department and we got table in the Fischer Vroni Tent. Well even during the week, if you come late to Oktoberfest, it's not easy to get a whole table, doesn't matter in which tent.
1 new thing for me that I saw in Oktoberfest for the first time, is the Steckerl Fish (smoked fish on the stick). In front of the tent, there are many of those fishes, which are smoked freshly before they are served. I might try these someday, although the price is other than cheap :-). |
