Munich drinking culture
Munich, Germany · Beer and beer halls
Munich is the beer-hall city: litre mugs, house breweries, gardens in summer, and a festival calendar that the world treats as Germany in miniature.
What people order in Munich
Helles lager is the everyday litre. Wheat beer (Weissbier) is the other house pour. Wine exists in restaurants, but beer gardens set the city's image. Mixed drinks are secondary except in late clubs.
How this fits the country
Purity-law storytelling is national marketing. Munich concentrates Bavarian lager and wheat beer more than northern pils culture.
Legal drinking age note (Germany): 16 for beer and wine in common guidance; 18 for spirits.

Culture guide, not a dry-day calendar
World pages describe famous drinks, history, and common legal drinking ages. They are not legal advice and they do not say whether alcohol is banned today. For India dry days, use the homepage or a city or state calendar.
