HofbruhausThe Hofbruhaus (actual German spelling) is located 5 minutes from the center of Munich, Germany. It may be the world's most famous inn, lending its name to German-style gastronomy around the world. It was originally built in 1589 by the Bavarian duke William V to avoid buying beer for his troops from Lower Saxony. The general public was admitted only in 1828 by then king Louis I. The building was completely remodeled in 1897, when the brewery moved to the suburbs. In the bombing of WW II, everything but the main inn ("Schwemme") was destroyed; it took until 1958 to be rebuild. The Hofbru brand has its own beer as well as a big tent at Oktoberfest. The restaurant comprises of the mentioned inn, a ballroom as well as a beer garden. Its Menu features Bavarian dishes such as roast pork, knuckle of pork and sausages. Beer ("Helles") is served as "Mass", the typical Bavarian mug (1 l); also served are wheat beer and wine. Though sometimes regarded as being "commercialized", it is popular among foreigners as well as locals. In 2004, a Hofbrauhus was opened in Newport, KY, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, OH.
