Stuttgart Beer Festival
What better place to sample beer than Germany!
The Stuttgart Beer Festival is set to start September 28, 2012, in the Cannstatter Wasen fairgrounds of Stuttgart in Baden-Württemberg (map) — the 37-hectare festival site on the banks of the Neckar River.
Running through October 14, 2012, it’s said to be the second biggest beer festival in the country (we know which is the largest, right?).
When hefting a stein of the special Festbier, be sure to snack on some crispy pork knuckles.
Oh, yes: you’ll find brass bands, folk costumes a ferris wheel and plenty more carnival rides. Check the video:
