It's still about beer. The good Ayinger, of course.
As of a short while ago, "my" S6 is taking me directly to Aying (or back
home) in 56 minutes :-)

I know,
the keyboards in Koeln are
Koeln-compliant now:
Ctrl - Koelsch - Delete :-)

That's true among the remaining "Big Six" Munich breweries, sure.
But forgive me for exposing a local secret (and one beer-loving
travellers won't be able to go enjoy until March): Forschungsbrauerei,
home to St-Jakobus Blonder Bock and Pilsissimus. Thanks to the way
the Oktoberfest participation regulations are written, you don't get
to see a Forschungsbrauerei tent at the Wies'n. Not to worry; it's an
easy S-Bahn ride to Perlach, and a few minutes' stroll to the best
little "unknown" brewery in Munich.

I went there when I was "visiting" MBB 30 years ago, good beer, poor
atmosphere :-)
Next you'll be tell us it's been taken over by the Dutch Bavaria pils
chemical works.

That sounds more than probable :-(((
Bayer Pesticides division should buy Bavaria Pils and the Land of
Bavaria should stop Bavaria Pils NL using the name. There are actually
people who believe that the stuff is brewed in Munich.
Do you know Munster near Glonn? My home from home when I used to
visit Munich.
I still remember having the half litre of Ayinger and a couple of
weissworst for Saturday morning breakfast

It's deep in the forest on a hill about 3 km from Glonn.
