Bier Hall Walkabout Part 2

The next morning (Saturday) we had a tour of Munich with a local guide, Kathleen. After seeing Munich from the perspective of a resident, we began to appreciate more than just the city's beer halls. (See Munich Walkabout.) Afterwards, we continued our beer hall quest.

Our next stop was the Schneider Weisse Brauhaus, suggested by Kathleen. Schneider brews wheat beer which Tom and I both like. This cute sign hanging out front welcomed us.

We sat across from the bar area with its numerous taps that were constantly flowing...

...and laughed when Tom's beer, in a bottle, came with a wine glass. Both beers were very good and even in the middle of the afternoon, there was a good crowd of people enjoying a variety of wheat beers.  Ratings: Tom - Beer, 5, Atmosphere 4. Devoni - Beer 4, Atmosphere 4.

Next we went to the Paulaner Beer Hall. The inside of this large hall seemed newer or recently updated compared to the previous ones we'd been to but there was no one inside. We decided to sit outside so we could "people watch" while we enjoyed our beer and french fries. 

Ratings: Tom - Beer, 5, Atmosphere 3, Food, 5. Devoni - Beer 5, Atmosphere 3. Food, 5.

We took a break to go to evening mass at Frauenkirche, the Gothic, twin-domed cathedral that was Pope Benedict XVI's church (where he was an archbishop) until 1982, when he left for Rome to work with Pope John Paul II. It was a startling sight to exit mass into the plaza surrounding the church to see sidewalk biergartens filled with patrons.

You don't have to walk very far in Munich to find a beer. YOLO!!
