We curate Bavaria's drinking calendar so you don't have to. Podcast. Events. History. Light and fun — with the occasional deep dive.
Bavaria has more beer culture per square kilometer than almost anywhere on earth. There are hundreds of drinking festivals every year — and almost none of them are documented in English. Oktoberfest gets all the coverage, but the real magic happens at places like Forchheim's Annafest (beer cellars under ancient chestnut trees), Bamberg's Sandkerwa (smoke beer in a UNESCO town), and Würzburg's Hoffest am Stein (wine on a vineyard hillside).
Jeff Homan hosts. An American with a deep love of Bavaria and a stein-shaped hole in his heart until the next trip. Built for English-speaking travelers who want the real stuff — not the travel-agency version.
