Is Munich turning into a beer desert?

Oh! Okay, I was looking primarily around die Altstadt on my maps...

Heh, yep, I knew that.

Okay, gotcha.

Man, does anyone know of any IT/programming jobs that would allow me to get to Bavaria/Germany on a somewhat regular basis without requiring that I live there for long stretches of time? I'm not ready to make the total jump...

Okay. We spent a little bit of time in Schwabing, primarily in Das Haus der 111 Biers (oh man, I went to Germany in part for Oktoberfest, but the only hangover I had was from this bar -- I hooked up with a couple guys vacationing from Dusseldorf who were buying rounds of strong beers WAY too often).

You know... Actually, I think it was Forschungs that we found a little cafe serving... A friend was collecting weissbier glasses, and he asked if he could buy a glass there, and the waitress said we could just take the ones we had -- which were awesome, having a plastic applique label instead of a painted-on one -- only I decided not to take mine. WHAT AN IDIOT!!

I believe so. It's just across the curve of a street allowing traffic from a pedestrian area, there's a leather-goods/traditional clothing shop right there too I think.

I wish we'd been able to stay there longer and/or make a couple more visits there...

Pft, I could do that no problem. Now I have no excuse not to go at some point. Excepting money and vacation time, mind.

Anyway, thanks much for the extra info!

Okay, I'm not retired. I have a short term contract until end of year at $NY-bucks per day.

In abou 22 months I will be retired. Wifey is sort of iffey about Germany, though we are both very positive about traveling to all mediterranean countries. I see that you beer guys are very up on, surprise surprise.

We;ve been to mu:nchen. Arrived 06:00 on the train and saw commuters on the way to the job having beer and bratwurst for breakfast. When in rome... I wound up napping most of the first day! But from talk here sound like we should visit strasbourg, at least for beer tourism.

You know, in Mu:nchen and in FfurtamMain and in other places there is always a city museum that shows in 1944 not one stone upon another and the earth salted, They rebuilt the city as it was, as it was, as it was, every mediaeval easement from one street to anoter thru a shoe store restored. Our own nation, we have justifiably been attacked by Mother Nature, we are not likely to learn from this because of the aggressive ignorance of Those Who Are in Charge.

But really that is off topic so ignore those comments because of their lack of beer,
