It's usually around £1.90 - £2 for 1/2 litre here.

BTW how you progressing? Any closer to Wittering yet?

Schatzi, what weekend were you thinking of? I can't do this weekend since I have a friend over from the UK and might be going down to Neuschwanstein... not sure yet!

You'll have to drop in at Celle, it's a beautiful town not too far from Hannover!

I love the dunkles Weißbier if served as 0.5 litre, or the dunkel bier if served in a Maß (1 litre). Problem with the Maß is that you drink it like normal beer... then wonder why you're so drunk!

Is ordering a half litre frowned upon...like ordering half-pints in the UK?

They only really serve beer in a Maß in beer halls or beer gardens (not in normal bars/restaurants). You can order 1/2 litres though it looks weird because the 1/2 litre glass looks dwarfed in comparison! Plus when the girls are managing 1 litres and you're not, then you really feel like a poofter! So stick to a Maß, unless you're having Weißbier of course which I think is only served in 1/2 litre glasses.

It was closer to £4 in London

Done with little aircraft. Got to see and talk to Wittering but am not going to end up there. Long wait now before the next stuff, like 14 months. More

Am doing "cool" stuff (Just checked the Met: -24.3 °C currently) sometime in the Autumn for a few months hence soon would be better.

Spent 8 years of my life in Germany.

4 years in Lahr and 4 years in Baden. I would go back at the drop of a hat.

Best beer in the world, and truth be told, the nicest people you could ever hope to meet.

I'm going back at my earliest opportunity. Sure do miss it.

To all who are going to be in Munich for Oktoberfest, have a couple for me!

Skuzzy, if you are at all able to go back even for a short visit...GO!
Who knows, you may even remember some of it this time;)

Wheat Beer! Dang, now I'm all thirsty and reminiscent and stuff!

(26 more posts and I'm a BBS ACE!)

Prost!

That's pricey!

So, Tucs next? Then FJ evaluation with Hawk? The Tucs are soooo cool!

I completely agree. Munich is the friendliest, cleanest, safest, tidyiest city I've ever been/lived in. No vandalism, safe to walk around in the early hours, not seen any violence here in 9 months, good public transport system (compared to UK) and relatively cheap too (again compared to UK). I would quite happily stay here for the rest of my life!

Hi Nexx, thanks for message, the meet sounds great but I'll have to pass this year. Likewise am leaving the Nurburgring trip at present as well.

Glad things are going well in Munich

Hi Vladd

Shame you can't make it but any other time you're over here then you're more than welcome to stay.

I should be over at Xmas and I wouldn't mind going to Duxford again. Been awhile!

Cool! I actually live down in Taufkirchen because it's 5 minutes walk to work in Unterhaching. I live next to a S-Bahn though so it's really easy to get into the centre.

You lived in Max Weber Platz area then?

I've been very busy trying to see as much as I can but there's still plenty of things left to see!

I speak 'Biergarten German'!

I can order stuff and understand some stuff but I'm still learning! Most of central Munich do speak English but it would still be very useful to have a native German speaker!

Hopefully this will turn into a good drunken, er, good aviation meet-up!

Looking 50/50 on whether I can make it. I'll keep an eye on this in the meantime.

Neg Tuc Nexx.

Not saying it will never happen because I would dearly love to. There are ways and means, we shall see.

Helos are the way forward apparently. I'm not entirely convinced just yet, too many fragile things moving at far too fast a speed for my liking

Well, good luck in the 'ways and means' approach!!

Merlin would be good, as would Lynx, though not too sure about SK!

Would be challenging though!
