I've always wondered why we in America and some other countries refer to Deutschland  as Germany too.

I learned to do so after spending 3 weeks in Germany on business. To purchase that fine beer and good food, one had to pay for it in Deutsche Marks or German marks (dollars).  ;D ;D

Now one has to have Euros.

And I was in Munchen or Munich for 3 days and one of those days I spent in the biggest beer hall I've ever seen. And they sure did "roll out the barrels". ;D

Can you desribe your beer hall experience in a few words.
Some crazy history in those Munich beer halls for sure.

I’m pretty sure this is where I was.

Hofbräuhaus Munchen - http://www.hofbraeuhaus.de/en/index_en.html

Click the “Hofbrauhaus Press” tab and then click the “photos” or ”videos” tab.

It was like 2 football fields long with live entertainment at both ends and with picnic tables to sit at. And when they “rolled out” a new barrel of beer, which was about 1 per hour, it took 4 guys to do it because it must have been at least a 500 gallon barrel. And they only served the beer in one (1) liter mugs. I still have visions of a hefty bar maid carrying four (4) full mugs of beer in each hand.
