Beerfesttime


It is festtime again in Germany! In late April, Kitzmann Brauerei held a bierfest in the courtyard of their brewery.



The first weekend in May is when the fest on Walberla, a small Berg (mountain) in the Fränkische Schweiz, takes place. This is one of the better fests, because there is a lot of space and people spread out blankets, eat picnics, and just relax.




Now, it is time for the Erlanger Bergkirchweih. The photos are misleading, because we attended the fest on a Saturday afternoon before the Pfingsten (Pentecost) holidays, when most people were still shopping for the long weekend. At night, on Sunday and on Pfingsten Monday, the photos would have been of a river of people slowly drifting from booth to booth, keller to keller.
