Friday Fun: Brave this beer adventure into the heart of Bavaria (Oct. 14-22)

Whoa, is that pork knuckle? They better have pork knuckle on this trip.

Do you like beer? Do you like bratwurst? Do you like touring treasured breweries around Bavaria and/or dancing in lederhosen? Well, do we have the trip for you. Join Tom Conrad from Treasures of Europe Tours Oct. 14-22 as he guides you through nine days of “Beer, Bratwurst and Beyond.”

Step aboard the luxury coach in Frankfurt and the trip begins as you travel to one of Munich’s youngest breweries/brewpubs for your initiation into Bavarian beer culture and your first experience of gemütlichkeit. From then on, it’s a daily immersion into everything Bavarian, including a wide array of beer styles, breweries, sausage, schnitzel, cities, a hop farm, women brewers, brewers who are traditional, brewers who are breaking new ground in the land of Reinheitsgebot, a traditional fall Kirchweih festival and so much more. No need to be fluent in German. You’ll find most of the hosts speak English fairly well. And if there’s a need, Tom Conrad will translate. Thanks up front, Tom.
