In 1516, Germany’s Duke Wilhelm IV decreed that beer should be made up of a few simple ingredients: water, barley, hops, etc. To mark 500 years since that historic declaration, the Germans are celebrating. Yangon’s Mahlzeit restaurant is joining in this weekend, serving up Carlsberg and Tuborg on the house between 12pm and 6pm on Saturday. Cheers to that! (Or, should we say, prost!)
Mahlzeit is located at 84 Pann Hlaing Street, Yangon.
