Discover the history of beer: Schanzer Biertour kicks off on 12th April in the upcoming season
Title: Exploring the Spirited History of Ingolstadt: A Guide to Beer Culture in 'Beer City'
Get ready to immerse yourself in the lively world of beer and Bavarian culture in Ingolstadt, a city famously known as 'Beer City.' Although there's no established event called the "Schanzer Beer Tour," the city never disappoints with its abundance of beer gardens, hearty regional dishes, and vivacious local events.
Let's dive right in!
Two gripping performers transform into historical characters, including, but not limited to, a beer coachman, a monk, a gendarme, and even Duke Wilhelm IV himself, bringing the delightful tales of beer monopolies, brewery adulteration, Bavarian beer upheavals, and the fascinating monastic beer allotments to life.
To keep things from feeling too stiff, you'll be treated to samplings of four beer varieties from Herrnbräu, including specialties not typically found in stores—each about 0.2 liters. Participation is entirely voluntary, but since you're here, we think you might want to give it a try! Important note: Only those aged 16 and above can partake in this cultural experience.
Since 2012, the engaging beer tour has become a staple in Ingolstadt's event calendar, consistently pleasing both tourists and locals. The 2022 season begins on April 12, and the tour will run every Saturday until the end of October.
