Starkbierfest is the strong beer festival that goes on every season of Lent. And yes, it couldn't be more obvious to call it the Starkbierfest because the beer is strong. It's a really dark brew and is so sweet it tastes almost like a cola. It aparently started at a monestary. Since the monks couldn't eat for 40 days, they brewed a really strong beer. This was so they could get more calories and sleep more - so I was told. There is more than 1,000 calories in a liter. Yummy. I would say though that we danced off about 500 of those calories though. So it's like an Oktoberfest atmosphere but it is not as big of a deal. The best brewery for this event is the Paulaner Keller so naturally that's where we celebrated! And Michaela said it perfectly, "Everything is just so much more fun in your dirndl!"
