Munich — It is time to bring out the traditional attire for the strong beer season. Initially, this nutritious beer was brewed to help monks endure the Lenten fast with liquid food; however, these festivals have now transformed into an occasion for general celebration. Advance ticket sales in the beer halls are already in full swing. This material provides essential information on the largest celebrations in Munich and the surrounding region.
Strong Beer Festival Season Begins in Munich
The famous Derblecken, featuring honorary guests at Nockherberg, will take place on March 4. Ordinary Munich residents will have the opportunity to enjoy the Paulaner Salvator variety (a one-liter mug — Maß — for 14.90 euros) between March 6 and March 29. The band Südherz will provide the festive atmosphere. Remaining tickets are still available at evening box offices or on the official website. Table reservations for ten people are available at a total price of 195 euros (this includes ten admission tickets and one voucher for a one-liter mug of beer per guest).
The Löwenbräu Triumphator variety (14.80 euros per liter) will be presented at the festival in the Löwenbräukeller from February 20 to March 21. Those wishing to join the celebration can purchase either an admission ticket without a table reservation for 14.80 euros, which already includes one liter of the beverage (making the entry effectively free), or reserve an entire table for ten people.
