Fodor's Review:

Duke Wilhelm V founded Munich's most famous brewery in 1589. Hofbräu means "court brewery," and the golden beer is poured in pitcher-sized liter mugs. If the cavernous ground-floor hall is too noisy for you, there is a quieter restaurant upstairs. In this legendary establishment Americans, Australians, and Italians far outnumber Germans, and the brass band that performs here most days adds modern pop and American folk music to the traditional German numbers.
