None of the above to be found. Not too many people seem to do Christmas
beers in Munich. Hofbräuhaus allegedly had something, but that would have
required actually setting foot in the place, so we passed.

Paulaner Bräuhaus, however, had a perfectly nice unfiltered Schwarzbier on
offer. And, of course, the regular helles zwickl still sucks not in a very
major way. Lew seemed to agree.
