\"Beer<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the mother of all beer festivals is Oktoberfest, held each September in Munich Germany, there are a lot more held around the world.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

If you have never been to a beer fest you might think it is nothing more than a whole lot of drunken people walking around sampling beer but it is much more. \u00a0From carnival rides, beer tastings, music, contests and vendors there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

You may not be able to make Oktoberfest <\/span><\/em><\/a>but that doesn’t mean you have to miss a killer beer fest. For beer drinkers, anytime throughout the year is a good time to enjoy a brew but Spring, Summer and Fall offer some great beer festivals. A search of local beer festivals is sure to bring up at least one in your area that you can visit but here, in no particular order, is a list of 10 Beer Festivals well worth a visit.<\/p>\n

Oregon Brewers Festival<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the nation’s longest-running craft beer festivals is held each year in Portland. Craft brew is defined as small batch, six million barrels or less per year, with most brewing much less than that. While that sounds like a lot consider Anheuser Busch will brew around 125 million barrels per year. This year somewhere around 80,000 people are expected to visit the festival and sample beers from the 80 vendors. In addition, there is entertainment, food and vendors selling merchandise.<\/p>\n

Certainly not the largest or among the most well know beer fests however one worth mentioning. The Pilsner beer fest is held where else but the town of Pilsen<\/span><\/em> <\/a>in the Czech Republic, a short train trip from Prague. Home to the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, across the street from the train station, the Pilsner fest celebrates the day the first batch of Pilsner Urquell was made. Which for those that do not know, was the very first Pilsner beer brewed. The brewery is open for tours, and well worth it. I can attest from personal experience. You can visit the beer cellars and learn about how it is made. Live music, the Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender contest and beer dough pretzels are on tap.<\/p>\n
