Starkbierfest @ Cedar Springs Brewing
(Saturday)
The second largest German beer festival takes place in April and Cedar Springs Brewing is ready to celebrate. For the third year in a row, Cedar Springs Brewing is celebrating Starkbierfest with beer releases, live music and a sausage party.
Second only to Oktoberfest, Starkbierfest (Strong Beer Festival) celebrates strong beer or Bockbier which was higher in calories and a bit stronger to substitute for food during Lenten fasting. Monks, historically, were in charge of brewing the strong beer, or “liquid bread.”
The festival takes place from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. See Starkbierfest for a list of beers, sausages and the live music schedule.
