Starkbierfest 2019 at Paulaner am Nockherberg

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.
