(International beers) Sightseeing in Munich
No commentsBy Roberto Garabelli
Munich the third largest city in Germany has many attractions for residents and visitors. We will take a guided tour of the city to find some of the most important landmarks and places of interest.
Munich is a modern town in Germany with an excellent blend of history, culture and traditional beer gardens. Munich Attractions include The Nymphenburg Palace, the worlds most famous beer hall called Hofbrauhaus and the Allianz Arena. The Nymphenburg Palace was the summer residence of the Bavarian monarchs. There are excellent museums which every visitor should visit before completing the palace tour.
German film making is rooted deeply in the Bavaria film studios. It would be worthwhile to take the Film express and spend time in Germanys Film City. The English Garden is a 900 acre park which has ponds, brooks and shaded path. The garden is more famous for its four beer gardens and Nude Park where sunbathers spend their time. Other Munich Tourist Attractions would be the various museums in the city. The Deutsches Museum has an extensive collection of technical achievements spanning from the middle ages till the 20th century. It is a scientific-technology museum spread over 50, 000 square meters.
Many tourists who visit Munich love to go for river rafting on the Isar. The trip is on traditional wooden river rafts which depart from Wolfratshausen at a distance of 30 kms south of Munich. The Olympic Park at Munich where the main events of the 1972 Olympics were held is another Munich Attraction.
There are many other attractions and a guided Munich tours would help unravel all of them, including oktoberfest and the museums

Learn How To Brew Your Own Beer At Home
By Kristi Ambrose
Hey, I have no problem admitting that I’m a Chef that doesn’t enjoy wine. I do however, love beer. German beer, American Beer, Irish beer, it’s all good! One of the coolest things I have always wondered about though is how can you make your own beer at home? Is it easy or hard? What do you need to get started? Is it expensive? Well recently I found some really cool inexpensive beer kits online, and I wanted to share them with you. I’ll be listing the top 3 beer kits I have found on the Internet. But first a little history lesson about beer! Hey beer is for more than just drinking! There actually a really interesting history behind beer.
The first beer brewery was opened in Manhattan in 1623. But the oldest brewery still running is the 1829 Yuengling in Schuylkill County in Pennsylvania. The first Oktoberfest was held in Munich Germany in 1810 and it actually started as a wedding celebration. The oldest brewery in Munich is the Augustiner brewery which was established in 1294. Sake is closer to beer than wine by its method of production. People have been brewing their own liquors, wines, and beers for millions of years now. But beer is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages and one of the most popular. Beer was first “invented” in 10,000 B.C.E, in Mesopotamia. No one seems to be able to come on an agreement as to which is the oldest BRAND name beer however. I guess its one of those “mine is better” type of deals where everyone is trying to say they did it first. But a few of the oldest ones mentioned when looking up “Oldest Brands of Beer” on Google are:
Molson - Canada - 1786
Pilsen - Brazil - 1295
Lyle’s Golden Syrup - Britain - 1885
Sapporo Beer - Japan - 1876
