Bergkirchweih Beer Festival

























One of the most fun things I've done since being here in Germany. This beer fest is located in the small town of Erlangen which is a short train ride from Bamberg. many say it's better than the famous Oktober Fest because it's full of locals and cozier...granted it's still big!! Yesterday was the last day of the two week long celebration so I was determined to go. We were there all day! The festival is located against a hill and the whole area is full of Biergartens, rides, HUGE pretzels, chocolate covered fruit, heartshaped lebkuchen, and naturaly, WURST! Although also rained on and off but it definitely didn't stop us from having fun! This is proven by the fact that one can only buy a 1 liter beer and nothing smaller. ;)
