Starkbierfest 2024 In Munich: A Lot Of Humor And A Lot Of Beer

If you’re a beer enthusiast, then there’s no better time to visit Munich than during the Starkbierfest, or the Strong Beer Festival.

Held annually during the spring season, this event is a celebration of dark and strong beer that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more.

At Absolute Munich, we’ve been to this festival many times before, and we can attest to the fact that it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

What Is The Strong Beer Festival?

The Strong Beer Fest is a beer festival that takes place in Munich, Germany, usually around late February or early March.It’s a celebration of strong beer, also known as “Starkbier” in German, which has a higher alcohol content than regular beer.This festival is a traditional event that’s been held in Munich for over 500 years, with the first documented Starkbierfest taking place in 1751.

What Makes The Strong Beer Festival So Special?

Aside from the fact that the Starkbierfest celebrates strong beer, there are several other things that make this festival unique.

For one, the festival is held in the Paulaner brewery, which is located in the heart of Munich. This means that you’ll be able to sample some of the best beer in the world while surrounded by the very place where it’s brewed.

Additionally, the festival is known for its lively atmosphere and traditional Bavarian music, which creates a definite festive and memorable experience.
Of course, they do have very similar music at the world’s biggest beer festival – Oktoberfest – but it’s certainly not backed by beer as strong as what you’ll find here.

The strong beer festival at the Nockherberg will take place from 1 March to 24 March 2024. When is strong beer season in Munich? Following the carnival in Lent, usually in March, the strong beer season takes place annually in Munich and throughout Bavaria.
