Leave the glittering financial towers of 'Mainhattan' behind you and cross the river into the willful soul of Frankfurt. This is not a pub crawl; it is a cultural decoding. In the pub district of Sachsenhausen, a harsh, uncompromising apple wine dictates an age-old social order. Accompany an ex-chef and a local cultural historian as they discuss, try, and uncover the unwritten rules of long wooden tables. You will learn why you should never use a fork for your cheese, how a gray stoneware jug created social equality, and why this famous sour drink is the key to understanding Frankfurt's egalitarian heart.
