| - Ah German food, so simple in execution but yet the results are so pleasing.
For those that aren't familiar with German food, here's a crash course on what to expect: generous helpings of meat, veggies, and beer. The brand new Hofbrauhaus in Pittsburgh's Southside Works is no exception.
I've been here several times, both before and after traveling to the original Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany earlier this summer. I'm happy to say that the experience here is as close as you can get to the "real" thing. The beer hall is loud, you share your table with complete strangers, beer is served by the liter, and often times there is live German music (did I mention that dancing on the tables is encouraged?).
The food is very good and a great representation of the German style. But what you'll really come here for is the beer. Brewed on the premises under direction of the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law), they include a Lager, Light Lager, Dunkel, Weizen, and a seasonal brew. At prices just under $8 per liter, it's a steal compared to other bars in the Southside.
Even if there a few Americanized touches here and there, it feels like an authentic German experience right in your back yard. What more could you ask for? Prost!
