Nostalgic opening of the Bierkeller (beer gardens) 28.04. - 29.04.2012

The official opening of the beer garden season and the crowning of the new beer queen.

Daily between 1 pm and 6 pm the beer gardens are open for beer, food and entertainment. Whatever your testes are, between delicious roasted meats and a variety of vegetarian fare no-one will have to go home hungry or thirsty.

The "Bierkeller" are known in English as beer gardens. As soon as the weather allows, around the middle of April, then everyone looks forward to going - as the saying goes - up the Keller "nauf die Keller".




The highlight of the Bierkeller season is the local Annafest which takes place around St. Anna`s day on 26 July. For the last 170 years this has been taking place in the shady oak woods on Forchheim`s Kellerberg.

Traditionally the nostalgic beer garden opening is started off by Mayor Franz Stumpf or by his deputy Franz Streit together with Forchheim`s beer queen.
