Brauerei zur Sonne


Our first night at a brauerei, or pub.  I put this off far too long, because I’m truly terrified of embarrassing myself with my language skills (or lack thereof).  In Germany, you just seat yourself at most restaurants.   There was one uncomfortable moment when the waitress asked if she should close the window behind me, and I just stared at her with a blank look on my face; but then I said “Mein Deutch ist nicht gut” and she laughed along.  The food was excellent.  Did you know that peppercorns could be served green and soft?  I didn’t.  It adds a lovely spice to dishes without that unfortunate peppercorn crunch.

We (accidentally) ordered two beers, which came in large glasses (don’t know the exact size, bigger than a pint, for sure!).  Delicious, not bitter, with just a slight kick.  We polished them both off.
