Starkbierfest 2024 Munich Strong Beer Festival
To appreciate the Munich love of beer you just have to consider what locals call the “fifth season”. It’s the Starkbierzeit (Strong Beer Time), a frenzy of early-spring stout swigging.
- Visiting Munich? Stay in the heart of the city in a luxurious suite at Beyond by Geisel a unique luxury concept putting you in the heart of the action. Meanwhile the Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor, offers amazing views of the city and a great rooftop pool.
The Festival
Munich is always brewing up some kind of excuse to get buzzed. Sandwiched between Carnival celebrations and Easter, Starkbierfest is Munich’s Lent-time justification for alcohol consumption. The festival is celebrated over a few weeks during early Spring
- Beer halls and breweries host their own Starkbierfests across the city.It’s a fabulous event where you have the supreme privilege of downing fresh, delicious brew that tastes like it was especially concocted just for you to drink on that specific day.
The Gay Event
- The Munich Leather and Fetish association, MLC host a special 4 day weekend version of their very own Starkbierfest each March.
- On Thursday, at the „Oberanger” a cosy and entertaining event with dinner takes place. This will be topped by the election of the new Bavarian Mr. Leather – the representative of the Bavarian leather and fetish community.
- After a cultural programme on Friday afternoon, two hot nights at the UnderGround are on the agenda: a “Hardcore” event on Friday, as well as the „Löwennacht” on Saturday. Those nights are a real feast for the eyes for all fetish friends. You can’t miss them.
- On Sunday, the Starkbierfest-weekend ends with one or more mugs of Maximator, the strong malty beer of Augustiner brewery, proper Bavarian brass music and lots of guys in traditional Bavarian leather shorts.

- The gay neighbourhood in Munich is quite compact. There are 9 gay bars most of them are in the old town around the Glockenbachviertel.
