Bildunterschrift:

Free beer in Munich? It doesn't get any better than that. Once a year the Bavarian breweries celebrate the anniversary of their state's beer purity laws, which were enacted April 23, 1513 and are still strictly observed today. Only water, malt, hops and yeast may be used in beer production in Bavaria and Germany, By the way, these servers are wearing "Dirndls," traditional Bavarian dresses, in honor of the celebration. Though Dirndls are not unseen in Bavaria, they aren't quite as common as many tourists think.
