STARKBIERFEST 2019: THE PAULANER STRONG BEER FESTIVAL:
Paulaner Salvator
Munich’s Paulaner Nockherberg are hosting their “Starkbierfest 2019” from March 15th to April 7th, 2019.
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.
Music at Nockherberg Starkbierfest
During the Starkbierfest Festival, “Die Nockherberger”, their Oktoberfest band, will provide live music from 4:00 p.m. on week days and from 2:00 p.m. on weekends.
Food at Nockherberg
Visitors to Nockherberg’s Starkbierfest will be able to enjoy typical Bavarian specialties like pork knuckle, chicken, duck and more. There will be stands selling souvenirs, the traditional gingerbread hearts and other delicacies.

Hi Helen!
Thanks for the information. Is calling ahead for a reservation required? Or will they allow people to come in without a reservation?
Thanks!
Hi Devon,
The link below takes you to further information about booking for the event. If you’re visiting and don’t want to miss attending, I suggest you do make a reservation especially if you’re intending to attend at weekends. Note that you do have to show up early or they can give your reservation away. I note that they now have a booking form and you can also email them at info@nockherberg.com.
