The first night out


Yesterday evening we broke into groups and scrounged the city for a place to eat. Several of us decided on the Schüttinger Gasthausbraueri, which turned out to be quite an experience. We were seated on wooden benches and served Schüttinger Bier which was brewed in-house. Not feeling terribly daring the group ended up ordering fried chicken which was actually prepared a bit different and still very good.
It seemed that in one moment all the German stereotypes were met when a group of eight ordered a 10 liter keg of Schüttinger to their table. As the night went on that table became progressively louder with shouts, cheers and drinking songs. It was certainly culturally engaging to say the least.
