The Reinheitsgebot of 1516 restricted beer to barley, hops and water, and Munich's six breweries still brew to it — only they may pour at Oktoberfest, which began in 1810 as a royal wedding party and now draws six million people. The Englischer Garten is larger than Central Park and has a standing wave in a river where people surf year-round.
