Beer has been around since 9500BC when cereal was first farmed in Neolithic times. In fact, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamians enjoyed this brewed beverage long long ago. Modern day beer festival celebrations can be traced back to this time too. Today, you can attend festivals in just about any part of the world. If you can find a way to attend one of these celebrations, you will remember it forever.
Almost everyone has heard of Oktoberfest. This event has its home in Munich and covers 16 days from late September to early October. Oktoberfest is considered to be the original home of the modern day beer festival.
Early October of 1810 is when the first Oktoberfest is known to have taken place, in Munich. This celebration was given for the royal wedding for Crown Prince Ludwig to Princess Theresa. All the people of Munich were asked to attend. One of the most memorable parts of this celebration was the horse races that the Royal Family enjoyed. The races were the main reason that the tradition was carried on and Oktoberfest has been held annually except for times of epidemics or war.
If you are a resident of Britain, you may wish to attend the GBBF, or Great British Beer Festival. This event is also called the "biggest pub in the world". It is host to some 450 beers and there are many local as well as imported selections. Each year in August, over 1000 people give their time to make sure the GBBF is a success.
The GBBF is supported by the organization known as the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) which promotes cask conditioned ale and supports independent breweries. The Great British Beer Festival began in the mid 70s and the first event attracted more than 40,000 guests with 150,000 pints of ale consumed. The beer festival is the UK'S largest and normally held annually in London.
