alright guys so greetings from munich it is  evening the sun is starting to go down and we  

are about to take you guys out for a bavarian  beer and food tour yeah our appetite is mighty  

we're thirsty too and so we can't wait to go  around and see all the different places that  

we can try some delicious food yeah so for this  activity we've teamed up with viator they're a  

booking platform and that's where we found this  particular foodie and beer tour and i'm pretty  

excited because we have been drinking a lot of  beer in the city but we have yet to visit one of  

their famous beer halls so this is going to be  a really fun experience three and a half hours  

with a guide a fun group and yeah let's see what  kind of fresh beverage we find totally can't wait  

okay so this is beer count number one on the  tour we are starting with a palace it is a very  

light beer we just met up with our guide and  the rest of the group well isn't that a great  

way to start things off the beer in a parking  lot parking lot everyone doing a gross together  

getting to know each other oh i finished it they  finished it like most others i'm halfway through  

mine yeah it was great we got to find out where  everyone was from we've got some people from  

denmark and the lederhosen their full oktoberfest  attire yes and i learned something new you're  

allowed to drink your beer on the streets here in  germany yes an open carry open carry law we don't  

have that in canada so that's yeah we're not so  lucky with that but we can't take it on the train  

so i kind of have to finish it or leave it so i'm  working on it you're working on it there you go

changes

cheers

okay so we just took the train to marienplatz  

and just two stops two stops we are following the  group i i forgot what did he say we're doing so  

we're going to the oktoberfest museum  in munich ah okay and then beer halls

i think we're eventually finishing  off the tour in the final beer hall  

and it's kind of like after what  three or four hours together he's like  

you're on your own now the night  is young you can do as you wish

our first stop of the night was  the beer and oktoberfest museum  

located in munich's oldest  townhouse which dates back to 1340.  

we did a fun beer tasting here sampling three  different types of beer what do we have here  

people keep their personal shines under  lock and key wow that's amazing look at that

watch your head

so

we started off with the helles which is  a pale lager this beer was definitely  

right up my alley some salted pretzels  also appeared as a nice little snack

next we tried a dunkles which is a dark beer  a munich dunkle is characterized by its low  

bitterness malty flavor and dark color which  can range from amber to a dark reddish brown  

sam really enjoyed this one and now we've  moved on to the dunkles you can see the color  

nice a hint of brown there so cheers here  we go which one do you like the most so far  

i'm a light beer drinker i think we've figured  out that much and i'm not so obviously i like the  

darker one so complete opposite preferences  but we're both having a good time so far  

and the last beer we tried at this place was  the vice pia which is a wheat beer this one  

had some surprising banana notes and proved to  be another favorite the wheat bean white beer  

full of electrolytes apparently it's full of  electrolytes what do you have in the morning  

and it was the royal family's beer that's  right and that might be the lightest of them

this is right up my alley okay  that's something that works  

they call it the german or  the bavarian electrolyte

so one of the things i'm loving the most so  far about the tour is just the casual nature  

of everything everyone's joking everyone's  mingling everyone's having a good time  

yeah the night's just begun wait  till we get to the later rounds

after sampling those three beers we visited  the oktoberfest museum here we learned about  

the origins of oktoberfest which date back to  1810 when a horse race was held to celebrate  

the wedding of crown prince ludwig and princess  therese of saxony hillberghausen the citizens of  

munich were invited to attend the festivities held  on the fields in front of the city gates the event  

proved to be very popular and was repeated again  a year later and then eventually carnival booths  

games and other attractions were added  to the mix and so what started out as  

the celebration of a royal wedding turned  into one of the biggest parties in the world

after visiting the museum it was time to  go down the famous medieval staircase which  

extends from the attic all the way to the  ground floor in one single unbroken line  

just watch your head if you're on the taller side

the good times they continue so  this is our third stop of the night  

but fifth beer we're starting to lose track  here um but we are at weisses beer house  

and our group's already going in they're  going in it's lively so we better

now about the food we mentioned this tour we  booked through viator it was a bavarian food  

and beer tour and this is the part where  we got to sample some new to us foods  

included in the experience was the brew  house cold platter featuring smoked meat  

liver cheese pickled vegetables mountain  cheese bavarian cheese dark bread a pretzel  

and lard i know some of these  foods may sound a bit unusual  

but trust me they taste even better than they  sound plus the beer kept flowing i went for the  

vice beer which is the wheat beer i mentioned  earlier the fruity banana flavors won me over

you just finished what year was it five the

a lot of beer yeah on this bavarian beer  tour we can guarantee that much yeah and  

we are now walking towards our final brewery  of the night we're going to finish off at the  

most famous one of them the hof boy  house yeah i can't wait to go there  

it should be extremely festive the last place  we were in had a really nice cozy environment  

and we had a chance to kind of sit down and just  chat with a lot of people who are on the tour and  

very social like so many so many  social opportunities with this team  

this is what vlogging in public is like um what  was i gonna say oh yeah yeah you were talking  

about it being cozy that's the word we learned  today at the start of the tour gemutlichkeit yes  

that's cozy feeling yes you right you do not drink  your beer until everyone has theirs apparently  

it's extremely rude to have it early and when  you're doing your broast you look everyone in the  

eye in the eye the other thing we learned too was  the origin of the city name was munch as in monk  

so the city of the monks apparently they uh yeah  and apparently they were some of the first brewers  

as well so we are continuing that tradition and  we are going for more beer warm beer coming up

last but not least we couldn't end this beer  tour without visiting munich's most famed  

beer hall of all hofbrau house started out as  the royal brewery in the kingdom of bavaria  

and it quickly became known for its vice beer  which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat  

relative to the amount of malted barley  now i couldn't tell you if we actually got  

vice beer at this place or the specially brewed  oktoberfest beer all i know is that a one liter  

stein of beer showed up at the table and the  festivities continued roast roast frost roast

it is fantastic we've been here in the main  beer hall in munich now for a couple hours  

it's getting closer to midnight the atmosphere  here it's like going to a sporting event  

a birthday party and a beer garden of  course all rolled into one there's chants  

there's yelling there's sometimes some breaking  of glass it's just so merry and festive in here it  

just has that roar of a of a stadium like you're  going to a live soccer a football a baseball game  

you hear the roar of the of the crowd to be  honest sometimes they'll be like pounding  

on the table doing a song the atmosphere is so  electric you have to come here to experience it  

even the way i've explained it doesn't do it  justice you have to be here to really understand  

what it's like to be in a festive german beer hall  well french hello so we just finished that awesome  

bavarian beer and food tour yeah it must be close  to midnight we ended up hanging out with our our  

group of fellow travelers at the roy house at the  beer house oh my gosh the beer hall we ended up  

okay we just asked for beer and they got the  guy brought one liter steins of beer that's  

what's available that's what's available you're  getting one liter of beer i mean so if you're  

going on a beer tour in germany yeah you're not  gonna be drinking little you know we and prior  

to having that liter of beer we had already had  five or six not leaders no but beers taste taste  

so i mean incredible experience i mean what a  great way to finish off the tour because yeah when  

you end up in the beer hall it's by far the most  festive you're already kind of feeling a bit of a  

nice buzz you've built up some rapport with your  group and you're ready to have a good time yeah  

and we sure did i mean we experience songs we  experience chants we experienced music we had  

great conversation and of course we were drinking  beer and eating giant pretzels yeah so overall an  

amazing experience we'd highly recommend this  tour once again we booked through viator it was  

the bavarian beer and food experience and yeah  it was just so much fun and you make new friends  

you get to walk around and feel like you're  really a part of the city you wouldn't figure  

out a tour like this on your own let me tell you  yeah we we wouldn't have done all these things  

tonight have we not joined this so so now we  are waiting to catch the train back to the hotel  

we've got a 20-minute train ride ahead of us and  we'll be seeing you in the next video tata friends
