Bavarian Valdivia

Here are some extra photos of Valdivia and environs.
Valdivia is famous, among other things, for being the home of Kunstmann beer! Der Herr Kunstmann was born in the Erzgebirge, which in English we call the Hartz Mountains (I think???) which are in south east Germany. They're in what used to be the southern border of the old east Germany. In my mind, I picture low lying hills and fields of barley and hops.
Upon arriving in Chile, Herr Kunstmann found he needed something liquid to wash down his diet of meat, potatoes, hallullas, meat, and potatoes. Diet Coke was not then available. So he opted for, you guessed it, beer. The brewery is right outside Valdivia and offers a museum and a good "German" restaurant. The Chilenos have not gone halfway. There are pictures of Bavarian Alps, there is Bavarian oom-pah music, but for some reason the waiters/waitresses are not dressed in lederhosen and dirndels. Just like Americans, Chilenos equate Germany with Bavaria.
All that notwithstanding, the beer was excellent! They brought out 8 small plastic cups, looking like they were taken from a urologist's supply closet, filled with Kunstmann's finest. (At least, I sure HOPE that's what it was!) For lunch I had pork with sauerkraut and kartoffel pouffe. The sauerkraut and potatoes tasted good, but they did not taste like anything I've eaten in Germany.....on the other hand, maybe they were Bavarian!
Zum wohl!
