The International Berlin Beer Festival occurs each year over a long weekend in the beginning of August. This celebration of cultural diversity through beer has brought in around 300 breweries from over 80 countries to show off their local beer specialties. Although admission to the festival is free, guests still must pay for drinks. It can be overwhelming, as there are around 2,000 different types of beer to choose from, but beer is offered at a reasonable price so that guests are able to try multiple types of global brews.

The International Berlin Beer Festival is known as a ‘beer garden’, which derives from the German word ‘biergarten’. Beer gardens are open areas where beer is served along with food and other drinks. The beer garden concept was derived in Southern Germany, so the International Berlin Beer Festival is well worth a look whilst staying in a Berlin apartment.

The International Berlin Beer Festival also draws a large crowd because of the free entertainment. Eighteen stages at the International Berlin Beer Festival showcase both German and international artists. In past years the International Berlin Beer Festival has seen more than 700,000 visitors. Because of the high popularity, souvenir glasses can sell out, so it is recommended that guests purchase their signature mug for €1.50 upon arrival, as it makes for a lasting and functional keepsake.

Travellers from around the world are invited to attend the next International Berlin Beer Festival. Those interested should seek Berlin accommodation to secure a spot. The International Berlin Beer Festival is a great destination for a relaxing holiday whilst staying in a self-catering apartment in Berlin.
