The Spring Beer Fest, Augsburg Plarrer, is one of the largest beer fests in Germany, next only to the Munich Beer fest.

Young people have taken up the call to wear traditional Garb, the girls sporting their Dirdl’s, and the boys their Lederhosen.

In the beer tents, they stand on the table and dance and sing, pretty awesome sight to behold.

Alas, times have changed, with the new found interest in the Beer Fest, comes subtle changes that for an old guy, are not too welcome. Such as, the Tents fill up fast, and you must reserve tables now. Around 6PM if you do not have a reserved table, off you go. The reservations are not cheap, and must be made far in advance. So, drink up, and get out of the way for the new generation.
