When we finally did and asked for menus, he said he was too busy and someone else would take care of our table, but no one came for another 15 minutes. I normally would have left at this point, but we walked a while to get here, since we had heard how good it is. We started with the pretzels, because we were starving at this point, but I thought the pretzels were only average. The Würstpfandl I ordered had 3 different types of wurst, sauerkraut, and potatoes. It was pretty good, but not way better than any other Austrian food I've had over the past 5 months. Due to the bad service and average food, I wouldn't come back here the next time I'm in Innsbruck.

You can serve yourself beer from 5pm-10:00pm and there were 6 options of beer to choose from! We loved every type of beer on tap. We arrived late to our beer pool but the owner was kind enough to leave a note on the door for us and showed up 5 min after we called. Bring your own towels and soap - there are showers to rinse off with after you leave the beer pool! Shout out to Andrea for being such an awesome host! We will definitely come back to starkenberger next time we are in Austria!! Amazing experience!!!

Kloster Brewery Ettal is only one brewery I visited in Germany. Historically Germany monastery…read morebreweries were primarily responsible for the production of beer and the beer supply of the population. When I was on vacation in Germany I really enjoyed visiting Kloster Breweries. You feel like you are having a religious experience with a beer buzz. Since I was collecting Beer Steins at the time I purchased two at one Kloster Brewery I visited. I like the feel of the stein and the taste of beer when you drink it out of this stein. I've kept my steins for years and years. I'm recommending when you visit Germany that you tour one (or more) of the monastery or castle breweries. It's an unforgettable experience! Klaus, if I get anything wrong please tell me. I don't want to look too stupid. All I have are my happy memories. Plus I have my souvenirs placed where I can see them all the time!!!

The pews look original and you can find carvings people left in the wood. Many Of the carvings are initials with dates. We found some from 1770. The monastery was build in 1330. We stopped by the gift shop afterwards. They have a great selection of home brewed beers, liquors and other little trinkets. I would highly recommend to visit Kloster Ettal when in the area.

He had a great personality, infused a lot of humor with all of the information, and was good with people. The beer was very good. There was soooo much beer on the tour and people kept handing me theirs (I don't know why). Needless to say, I was feeling it by the end of the tour. There was an interesting beer-based shot drink at the end that was good. Again, people kept giving me theirs and the tour guide poured me a second one. Geez! At the end of the tour we got to eat dinner. Yum! It was some of the best food I had while in Germany. There was also a quiz to see if you got some kind of certificate. We all cheated. Lol There was a nice little gift shop that had a variety of things for different interests and ages.

It's a…read morecash only place that exudes it's own pride in was it produces: good food, good beer, and good company. Highlights: das beer! Super fresh and tasty. Probably the best of the trip frankly. Don't be put off by the cafeteria style ordering process. You've entered a small bergs eating and watering hole and you won't be disappointed. When ordering or deciding What to order, ask to see the dish or meat first if you're not sure. Least favorite of the stop was the cold potato salad and the 'ok but not lakefront brewery' obatzda. (If you haven't had lakefront brewery's obatzda on your pretzel, you haven't lived). After a day at the castles, take a little longer drive to visit here. Be sure to call in advance for reservations and if it's early, when they say no, tell them you'll be in and out in under 2 hours. Maybe you'll get a seat.

We took an early drive through the mountains, through a one car width toll road, and then ended up in the secluded valley of Schönenbach No your cell phones dont work out here and folks that are here dont want to be found. However they have a lively pub that also sells really good food. One of the most traditional dishes of this area are Käsknöpfle, which are dumplings made with a combo of local Alpine cheeses, flour/water dough, and fried onions. Of course my friend knew all the good stuff, so we got a local sausage/cheese salad with vinaigrette, a few local cheeses, and we were set. Holy fuck was this good, and I had just eaten not too long ago. The vinaigrette was great with the salad, the local cheeses and the bread! I couldnt stop eating... So in the chance that you happen to be in the Alps bordering Switzerland and Germany in Austria, see if you can find this place. It's well worth it.
