I think I've forgotten everything I learned in my one year of German language in college. Oops? I realized this because Der Braumeister brings out all the lacking German in me...I heard smatterings around the bar and I even felt silly ordering "HB". (Oops, that's HaufBrau).
But that is the key to an authentic German restaurant. It feels very European and I was especially excited about all the ethnic beers. I didn't order food but will be sure to return, even if just for the Sauerkraut Balls.
Sure, maybe it's on a stretch of Lorain that I don't often visit, but maybe I need to be changing that around.
