Every year at the first weekend of August more than 240 breweries from 80 countries present 1,750 different brands of beer The Berlin "beer mile" is directly located in the city centre and 2.2 km long. This "longest beer garden of the world" reaches from Frankfurter Tor to Strausberger Platz stretching along Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin Friedrichshain.
In 20 different beer regions you can enjoy cultural and culinary specialities - beer in its inexhaustible variety being in the centre of attention, of course. Each brand of beer is only served once on the festival ground. A live musical programme taking place on 18 stages accompanies the beer festival. Admission is free.
This unique annual beer show has been taking place since 1997 and has been attracting hundreds of thousands of national and international guests since then.
Last year a record number of 750,000 visitors came to the festival.
What is so special about this event? Well, in the first place it has the fascinating atmosphere of a folk festival of international quality - but at the same time it is a fair for experts and lovers of beer. Each year several new brands of beer are represented, e.g. Voodoo Dark from Benin, Poker-Beer from Columbia, Ghurkha-Beer from Nepal, Crocodile-Beer from Australia, or Ruebezahl-Beer from Bohemia.
The 10th International Berlin Beer Festival takes place from 4 -6 August 2006.
