Prost and Pedigree: An Evening Inside Munich’s Original Size Matters Beer Tour.
This is Munich after dark: long communal tables under chestnut trees, the hiss of beer poured from wooden barrels, and a guide who threads history and local color between each stop. The Original Size Matters Beer Tour stitches together beer gardens, atmospheric cellars and classic beer halls into a single social evening where Bavarian tradition meets playful competition.
