    I'll be in Munich the week of 7 March for Starkbier. Fastenbier at Schlenkerla starts on Ash Wed, Feb 10 (continues until Easter) so I plan to try that during my side trip to Bamberg.

    We have tix for Lagerkeller at Augusteiner for Maximator and will be at Lowenbrau on the 12th. Are there any other unique special biers out during this time frame that should be sought out?

    Prost!

    While the beer in Munich is always delicious, I think Starkbierzeit is more about wrapping yourself in the culture and "happening." Meet and greet the locals, embrace the event that's unlike anything you've probably ever experienced. And -- there's great beer to accent it all! :slight_smile:

    One thing I always wondered about Starkbierzeit -- does Schneider participate in any great way? Also, do not forget Forschungsbräuerei!

    Schneider does a Starkbierfest in Kelheim every year, from what they post on FB it seems that tickets are hard to come by. I've never been.

    I was in Munich and Bamberg last year - I'm blessed to have been 3 times in less than a year.

    We went to Forschungs in June and they were out of Bock. We'll hit more places in Munich and also in Bamberg and return to favorites like Weisses (they do anything special for Starkbier). Kelheim has a party on the 12th but I think it's invitation only.

    Oktoberfest was good but I've heard this is even better.... Trip report to follow.
