I looked this up out of curiosity and discovered that there’s a Hofbräuhaus in my town, and several throughout the US. Might have to visit…wouldn’t be the same as going to Munich but might still be fun.
Yes, I meant the word “prototype” quite literal - there probably are 100s of Hofbräuhäuser all over the world.
(Saw a report about one in China some time ago.)
Each trying to emulate a slightly different hilariously wrong image of German culture.
But honestly, who cares.
Go and have some fun, the slight cringeness is part of it! :-)
I’ve been to both the Hofbrauhausen in Pittsburgh in the summer and Munich in the winter. The different seasons may have played largely into it, but they were very different vibes
