debeer1-6, Exercise 2: Stammtisch and Brauhaus

Model answer:

A Stammtisch is a regular table reserved, often with a sign, for a group of regulars who meet at set times; sitting at it uninvited is considered rude. In a Cologne Brauhaus a waiter (a Köbes) carries a tray of small Kölsch glasses and keeps replacing your empty glass until you put a beer mat over it. A big Munich beer hall serves larger glasses or litre mugs at long shared tables, with the beer ordered from a waiter or collected, and a lively, noisy mood.
