STARKBIERFEST 2018: THE PAULANER STRONG BEER FESTIVAL:

Lent 2018 begins on Wednesday, February 14 and ends on Saturday, March 31st and Munich’s Paulaner Nockherberg are hosting their “Starkbierfest 2018” from March 2nd to March 25th, 2018.

Starkbierfest is a Lent Strong Beer Festival where strong beer like the Salvator are drunk. The Starkbier was a tradition begun by Paulaner monks in the 17th century. To help them survive the Lent fasting season, they produced this strong brew which they called ‘Sankt Vater Bier’ (Holy Father Beer).

If you like stouts, you’ll enjoy the Salvator at Nockherberg, a bottom-fermented strong Doppelbock beer (alcohol 7.5%). During the Starkbierfest, Salvator stout is traditionally served in 1-litre steins, called the Keferloher.
