Bayern

It sounds like an anthem in a beer mug: loud, bold, and absolutely uncompromising. Each “jawoi!” flies into the hall not as a word, but as a punch on an oak table, after which everyone around stands up and sings along in unison. There is no room for philosophy or subtle lyrics here - only foam, the clinking of mugs, and the feeling that together you can outshout even the Alps.

The song smells of bread and hops, as if it were born in a noisy beer tent at Oktoberfest. Everything in it is extremely simple: Bavaria is here, beer is here, so life is good. And in this straightforwardness lies the real thrill: sometimes all you need is Weissbier, a couple of friends, and a chorus that you repeat endlessly.
