Munich is a mecca for beer-drinkers, at least for lager or Weiss (wheat) beer fans. Some of Germany's most famous breweries are based here: Hofbraeu (most notably in the Hofbraeuhaus, but try the Hofbraeukeller too if you get the chance), Paulaner, Hacker-Pschorr, Spaten and Loewenbraeu - most famous of all, and thought by many, including me, to be the least good.

But the locals don't drink any of those, they drink Augustiner. Either Helles (the Munich word for standard lager) or even better, Edelstoff.

Augustiner has also looked after its breweries and pubs, they are all worth a visit. The Bierhalle has its own tip here, but the Augustinerkeller near the station is recommended, the brewery itself on the opposite side of the tracks, and any pub at all displaying the blue and white Augustiner sign.
