There is something liquid in a stone mug to accompany the Bavarian snack board. A family brewery that has been conducting beer research in Munich-Perlach since 1936 has named its "Jakobator" strong beer after the founder of the research, Gottfried Jacob. Beer is served in the associated "Bräustüberl" on Fridays and Saturdays: from March 7th to April 13th, the two strong beers will be tasted to the sound of Bavarian folk music - the "Münchner Spitzbuam" will play and on two Sundays the "Brücklmeier Musi" will play at lunchtime.
