Lunch time
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.
Hey Hive Family
enjoy a special “light” lunch
and let us travel the world again
Love their signs
The text in the image is in German:
"INSTITUT ZUR BEKÄMPFUNG AKUTER UNTERHOPFUNG"
Translated into English, this means:
"INSTITUTE FOR THE COMBATING OF ACUTE UNDER-HOPPING"
As you might be a follower of the #BeerSaturday, you will fully understand this. You might even see my big smile while
enter the location.
The text is likely humorous or satirical, typically seen in contexts like breweries, indicating a playful take on their mission to address or prevent a lack of hops in beer.
Grüner Brewery
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 Beer
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.
The History
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.
Food at the Brewery
Gruener Brewery’s on-site restaurant in Nürnberg offers a quintessential Bavarian dining experience, blending hearty traditional meals with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. The space is often filled with long communal tables, encouraging a warm, social environment where locals and tourists alike gather to enjoy authentic German cuisine and the brewery’s signature beers.
The Menu and Food Style
The restaurant is known for its classic Bavarian dishes, featuring generous portions of comfort food like huge schnitzels, sausages, and pretzels, often accompanied by sauerkraut, potatoes, and gravy. The schnitzel, particularly a crowd favorite, is typically served in portions large enough to satisfy even the hungriest patrons, paired perfectly with a pint of Gruener’s Helles. Other staples include roast pork, spätzle (German egg noodles), and freshly baked bread rolls.
As you see my “little” schnitzel with potatoes 🥔 it was a hard job to fight.
The Atmosphere and Crowd
Lunchtime at Grüner Brewery’s restaurant is lively, often drawing a diverse crowd. You’ll find families, working professionals, and groups of friends stopping in for a midday meal, alongside tourists eager to taste authentic Bavarian cuisine. The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial, with beer flowing freely and the rich aromas of sizzling meats filling the air. Regular patrons appreciate the consistent quality of both food and beer, while newcomers are drawn in by the rustic charm and the promise of a true German dining experience.

Some more signs

The text in the image is in German:
"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"
Translated into English, it means:
"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

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.
