Starkbierfest is basically Oktoberfest without the tourists. On this trip, we’re planning to hit at least two different festivals—maybe even three or four if the timing works out! We’re also heading to Bamberg, which is a total playground for beer lovers. You’ll get to try some truly unique styles, like the legendary Schlenkerla Rauchbier, Mahr’s "U," and Keesmann’s Herren Pils, just to name a few.

On top of all that, we’ve lined up some amazing day trips to Salzburg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Kloster Andechs. If you’re into world-class beer, hearty German food, and great music, you’re going to absolutely love this trip!
