THE THIRSTY HISTORIAN

Oktoberfest might be the largest beer festival in the world but in so many of the cities surrounding Munich in Bavaria, there are so many small Beer Festivals and Volksfests. With 2-3 beer tents (or more), live bands, Liter mugs of the local fest bier, and lots of lederhosen und dirndls, you're bound to have a great time! Come with us and explore one of these super fun and cosy beer festivals without all of the masses and the prices of the lodging of Oktoberfest. We are offering many excursions in 2020 in connection with these events. There are so many fun events and festivals in the area each year and we will be updating this page. For now, here is a short list! ​ Oktoberfest is very fun but also the busiest time of the year and a huge event. You surely have seen nothing like it. We help take all the guess work out of the Festival by booking tables almost every day and conducting small, intimate group tours with no more than 10 people. We can't wait to have a drink with you!
