John got extra credit: Munich citizens enjoy a world reknown neo-classical opera house, the National Theatre, entirely rebuilt after being completely destroyed after WW II at extreme cost covered mostly by public fund raisers. Its bacteria infested hydraulic stage lifts were the source of just a few scandals and serious uproar among opera lovers from all lands and countries who saw several seasons drop out. Sawallish, who found his new home in Philadelphia, was replaced 2 years ago by Peter Jonas and is bringing along a fresh breeze from London. Nevertheless, Munich's opera saw several original premieres put on stage such as Wolfi's "la finta Giardineira" and "Idominea". King Ludwig's attraction for Wagner could be held responsible for bringing such masterpieces as "Tristan und Isolde" and "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg". The list can easily be expanded with Richard Strauss, Reger and Orff. In addition to the National Theatre's regular fare, a special Opera festival takes place in July and ballet aficionados will not want to miss the May festival. It can be heard on the grapevine that wealthy opera goers hire student's from Munich's helpout service to stand in line for tickets, how difficult things can get to snatch a few good seats to top of the line performances.

Your seasonal       Bier Picture:

Loewenbraeu Dunkel:

 Great for fall and winter: Bottom fermented, full body, dark brown and an unusual pleasure with it’s rich maltiness and moderate hops . This old, traditional Bavarian beer specialty from Loewenbraeu is the result of a great balance of the ingredients and the fine art of Bavarian brewing.

   Bavarian Bier Lovers Corner: Muenchener Dunkles

Dunkel — The World's First True Beer Style
After the Bavarian co-rulers Duke Wilhelm IV and Duke Ludwig X had proclaimed the Bavarian Beer Purity Law, in 1516, stipulating that Bavarian brewers could make beer only with water, malted barley and hops, and after Duke Albrecht V had decreed, in 1553,  that brewers were allowed to make beer only between St. Michael's Day (September 29) and St. George's Day (April 23), the beer style that emerged in Bavaria was what we now call the Dunkel. Dunkel is the German word for “dark,” and it refers to the classic Bavarian lager, a deep-brown, mahogany, or sepia colored all-barley brew. Given the restrictions in place at the time, it was the only beer the Bavarians could legally make. The beer was barley-based, because of the Beer Purity Law, it was dark because if the malting technology of the Middle Ages and it was a lager, because of the ambient temperature in the fermentation cellars during the brew season. 

Brown Malt Makes Brown Beer
Barley becomes brewers’ malt in several stages. It is first steeped to let it absorb moisture. It is then allowed to germinate briefly to activate enzymes in the barley that turn unfermentable starches into fermentable sugars. The grain is then dried over high heat to interrupt the sprout from growing and to keep the barley from rotting or mildewing during storage. Before the introduction of the indirect-heat kiln in the early nineteenth century, all malt was dried over open wood, coal, coke, or charcoal fires. The finished malt would be invariably somewhat smoky and slightly to severely roasted or even charred. Just like severely roasted coffee beans make a very dark brew, so does dark malt make a dark beer. Maltsers could make pale malt — and thus pale or blond beer -- only once they had the technology to heat clean air and blow it through the moist malt with power-driven fans. In other words, pale malt and pale beer became possible only with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century.

Cold Fermenters Make Lagers
There are two types of yeasts that make beer: Warm- and top-fermenting yeasts make ales, while cold-and bottom-fermenting yeasts make lagers. Before the invention of refrigeration in the late 19th century, which allowed brewers to cool their fermenters even in the summer, beer made in the heat of summer were invariably ales, while beers made in the cold of winter were invariably lagers. Because Duke Albrecht’s 1553 decree restricted beer making only to the cooler months of the year, the beers that came out of Bavarian breweries by the end of the 16th century were lagers — barley-based because of the 1516 decree and brown because of the medieval kilns.

During the early decades of the nineteenth century, the new lager beer style spread from Bavaria to neighboring Austria and Bohemia. As pale malt became available around that time, brewers started to create blond lagers as well. After the invention of refrigeration, cold-fermenting lagers replaced ales as the favorite beers in all parts of Europe except for the lower Rhineland, Holland, Belgium, Britain, and Ireland.

Dunkel Profile
The dunkel, like all Bavarian-style beers, tends to be very malty with only a gentle hop accent. It is soft and elegant, with a rich, mildly vanilla, nutty-sweet palate and a dry, rounded finish that is never harsh, toasty or acrid. The beer is full-bodied, with a chewy texture and firm, creamy, long-lasting head.
