When I was still relatively new in Bavaria, well Munich to be precise, my U-Bahn line was extended and they were offering free beer. Well, there was also a party in celebration of the new underground station, but the only part I heard when someone told me about it was ‘free beer’. That was all I needed to know. I was already there.
So today, roughly a decade later, I was back at the same U-Bahn stop, and I thought back fondly of that day when I was new and my German was shaky and the people at the Fest were exceedingly friendly.
The station at Georg-Brauchle-Ring is attractive complete with photos and maps interspersed with colorful tiles…this place always makes me smile. It’s not bad, is it?
Free beer. That novelty would never wear off!
I’d be a terrible German. I’d pass on the free beer. But that station is absolutely gorgeous. It’s filled with all the whimsy. My favorite thing!
I’m not a big fan of beer, but I’d totally drink free beer in a U-Bahn station in München.
