Since it is officially the start of Oktoberfest<\/strong><\/a> this post has perfect timing. Today’s post is from the city of Munich, home of the largest beer drinking festival in the world!<\/p>\n

Vlog #14: <\/span>Contiki European Panorama<\/a>: Munich, Germany<\/h2>\n

Munich<\/h2>\n

\"Munich,<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Beer<\/a><\/p>\n

We only had one night in Munich, so what did we do when we got there? Drink beer! And where else but a tradition German beer hall, Hofbrauhaus<\/strong>, a very famous and popular one right in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

\"Hofbrauhaus-<\/a><\/p>\n

Nothing starts a good night off then a glass of beer bigger than my face.<\/p>\n

I normally don’t drink beer back home but I am seriously loving all the Czech<\/a> and German beers. What’s going on North America, where’s all the good beer?<\/p>\n

\"Hofbrauhaus-<\/a><\/p>\n

Another thing I had to have in Germany was sausage<\/strong> and sauerkraut<\/strong>, another thing North America is lacking. I loved this delicious fermented cabbage, it’s sweet, salty and crunchy all at the same time. Then pair it with a creamy, fatty, juicy sausage and you’ve got a plate of WIN. I will give one warning though, sauerkraut can make you very, very flatulent. Hence always bring Beano <\/a>with you to Germany- it will save your life.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Hofbrauhaus-<\/a><\/p>\n

Rhine Valley<\/h2>\n

If you head up north along the Rhine River<\/strong> you will find yourself in the Rhine Valley, home to hundreds of castles and Riesling<\/strong> grapes!<\/p>\n

\"Rhine<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rhine<\/a><\/p>\n

And since I obviously didn’t have enough alcohol in Munich (sarcasm), it seemed only right to do a Riesling wine tasting!<\/p>\n

Now I don’t have any particular favorites when it comes to white wines and the only other white wine tasting I have done before was in Gisborne, New Zealand<\/a>. So, I not sure how helpful my opinion is. Overall I wasn’t a huge fan of the white Riesling wines; too sweet for me. However, their ice wine<\/strong> was AMAZING. But I guess that is what tasting is for, so you can figure out which ones you prefer.<\/p>\n

Oh alcohol!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
