The lounges at BRU pale in comparison. FRA has more interesting tarmac views and is a great way to stretch your legs with all of the walking to transfer terminals. MUC is faster with less walking. Pretzels and beer equally good in both.

(First best layover snack, IMHO, is the pork tonkatsu ramen in the ANA lounge + a Sapporo from the magic beer machine.)
I love those pretzels and I always have a pickle or two—even early in the day. I rarely eat them anywhere else. But when in Germany they are must haves for me.
