Bavaria
There are seven varieties of beer on offer at the monks’ beer hall and garden, from the rich and velvety Doppelbock Dunkel to the fruity unfiltered Weissbier. The place is incredibly popular, and on summer weekends, you may have to join a queue of day trippers at the door to get in.
Food may seem an afterthought, but the hearty roast pork, leberkäse and home-made cheeses actually go a long way to keeping your balance.
