Notes
Typically Munich: Starkbierfest
 In case you have been assuming that
you have to wait another year in order to consume copious amounts of beer
by visiting the Oktoberfest and that this is the only way to go, then you
might not yet be familiar with some other parts of Munich’s culture. Granted
that the Bavarian capital has plenty of other ideas – and excuses – for
fully enjoying the exquisite local beer, the Starkbierfest (Strong Beer
Festival) is another one of the larger cultural events that should find a
spot in your social calendar.
Following the already festive
carnival season, the Paulaner am Nockherberg turns into a site of more
joyous celebration as part of the Starkbierfest. This year, the festival
will be taking place between March 13 and April 5. The history of the
festival can be traced
back to monks enjoying strong beer. This special type of beer has
indeed been invented on the Nockherberg. One of the great differences to
the Oktoberfest is that Starkbier is not served in the regular one liter
glass beer jugs but rather in the so-called Keferloher beer steins.
Nevertheless, there are some parts of it that will remind you of the
Oktoberfest in a more distinctive manner, such as the presence of the
band Die Kirchdorfer.
Although most people assume that the
alcoholic content of Starkbier is higher, there is more to know about the
recipe that will make sure you understand how special this experience is.
Starkbier also has a higher amount of
dissolved solids such a sugar and starch, which makes the enjoyment
of this beer more rich and indulgent. Make sure to try it, but also
expect it to knock you over in a different way than regular beer.
Finally, it is important to note
that the Starkbierfest is celebrated in different locations throughout
the city, with the Paulaner am Nockherberg being the most popular and
central one. The halls in the cellar are regarded as particularly
beautiful, which together with some authentic live music makes for an
exciting atmosphere. In addition, you may also find celebrations
happening at the Löwenbräukeller and Augustiner Keller among others.
