Actually, Weihenstephan isn't in München, it's in Freising. S-bahn S1, IIRC. The train stops at the station before Freising, splits in two, and half of it goes to Freising, the other half to the Airport. Very cool. Don't get on the wrong one hahaha.
Hofbrauhaus is a tourist trap. Right on the main shopping street (supposedly the highest rents in Europe), Kaufingerstraße, Augustinerbrau has a small beer hall with some outside tables. Sitting there sipping a beer and munching on a big soft pretzel with sweet mustard, watching the people go by, what a fine way to waste an afternoon. Almost directly across from there was a little cart selling Pfifferlingen - Chanterelle mushrooms. 5 Euros for 500g. Wow. They're $USD20 for the same (almost) quantity at Whole Foods. Then, a block south, lies the Viktualeinmarkt. There was a vendor who had, oh, 20 or so different varieties of potato. I'd get one each of six or seven, pick up some cheese and bread, some huge orange Roma tomatoes, some black bread, and sometimes some smoked sausage from Franconia or some Weisswurst, and go back to the flat and have a food orgy with my flatmate Matthias. He's pick up a couple bottles of wine and we'd eat and struggle with our language differences with "Das Buch" - my dictionary, in constant use.
Ah, München.
