Yeah, my client took me for lunch into a brewery. It seems they either love me or they had a secret plan.
Anyway, it is a Bavarian tradition to have beer - just one light one - for lunch. Similar to the wine your might get in France.

This beer Heaven is located in Nürnberg, Germany and is renowned for its traditional approach to brewing, particularly focusing on classic German lagers like Helles. The brewery emphasizes quality and heritage, brewing their beers in accordance with the Reinheitsgebot, the German purity law that dates back to 1516, ensuring that only water, malt, hops, and yeast are used.
Helles, a pale lager, is a signature style in Bavaria, known for its smooth, slightly sweet, and malty flavor balanced by a mild hop bitterness. This approachable beer is a staple in German beer halls and is celebrated for its refreshing qualities, making it a perfect complement to hearty German meals like schnitzel.
Brewing in Nürnberg has a long history, with the city being a key player in the beer culture of Germany. Breweries like Grüner have maintained centuries-old traditions while adapting to modern tastes. Helles, specifically, originated in Munich in the late 19th century, developed as a response to the growing popularity of Czech Pilsners. Today, it remains one of the most beloved beer styles in Bavaria and beyond.

As you see my “little” schnitzel with potatoes 🥔 it was a hard job to fight.

"Auch wir freuen uns über höfliche Gäste
'Hallo, ich hätte gerne ein Bier' 3,80 €
'Hey, a Bier' 6,00 €
'H Bier' 8,00 €
Schnipsen und Pfeifen wird von uns konsequent ignoriert
Ihr Brauhaus-Team"

"We also appreciate polite guests
'Hello, I would like a beer' 3,80 €
'Hey, a beer' 6,00 €
'H beer' 8,00 €
Snapping fingers and whistling will be consistently ignored by us
Your Brewery Team"
This sign humorously illustrates different prices for a beer based on the politeness of the request, and also mentions that impolite gestures like snapping fingers and whistling will be ignored.
Cold beer get’s warm and need to go.
Yeah, another style of living with some big smiles.
