Hofbräuhaus time

At the hof with friends for my wife’s birthday. Pils and bock are he seasonal, and very tasty.

Shotski time

Love some Hofbrauhaus. Think I’m going to Newport sometime in May - Maibock. 'Nuff said.

Yes. Memorial weaken for us

If I didn’t have family coming in that weekend, we’d go then. We probably will go in a couple weeks.

I was just at the one on Panama City Beach a few weeks ago when we were visiting my inlaws. They had a Märzen as their seasonal and it was phenomenal. The first time I went there I thought most of their beers were just OK/nothing special, but this beer was killer.

The best part was hearing the waitress with a serious drawl mangle every single German word. I had to ask her 3 times what the seasonal beer was until I realized she meant Märzen. I had to try really hard not to be “that guy” and correct her pronunciation of words like spaetzle.

We would correct her then the Germans would correct us. I thought I was doing a decent job pronouncing" hefeweizen" to a German guy at work a couple weeks ago and he said what?, I repeated it,  and he said" oh,  hefeweizen, yes." And I would not have recognized it as “hefeweizen” out of context.

‘Hay-fuh vyt-zen’, right? A local German American club here puts on an Oktoberfest every year. I’ve been corrected on a lot of pronunciations there.  :wink:

I don’t know much German, but what I thought I knew has been corrected repeatedly by SWMBO,  who is 100% German and grew up with family speaking the language

Yep. I was pronouncing the first syllable" hef". I learned most of my German from Hogan’s Heroes.

Same here, on both counts.  ;D

That’s pretty funny and sounds about right
