This is a great thread ^
I will be in Germany for most of July this year and wouldn't mind hitting a beer festival. Problem is that we are going to be staying in the north-central part of the country. Is anyone aware of any festivals in July near Hanover or within a 100km distance?
I did notice that the Hanover Schutzenfest is at the beginning of July, but I believe that's more like a county fair (e.g. rides) than about beer & food, or am I wrong on that?
