Hearty Starkbier time with Flötzinger Bräu in Raubling
The Raublinger Starkbierfest is a fixture in the Upper Bavarian Starkbier season, those weeks around St. Joseph's Day (Josefitag) when the nutritious "fasting" Starkbier is served. The venue is the large festival tent at Gymnasium Raubling in the district of Rosenheim. The festival is organized by Kirner Zelte in cooperation with the Flötzinger Brewery from Rosenheim.
Over three weekends, the Starkbierfest offers traditional brass music, exuberant atmosphere, and hearty delicacies from the Kirner family's kitchen. The Josefi-Bock and the Festmärzen from the Flötzinger brewery are served. Special program highlights include the traditional Kesselfleisch-Montag and Josefitag.
The ceremonial opening is marked by the beer tapping ceremony by the mayor of Raubling, accompanied by a brass band. The Starkbierfest combines Bavarian customs with conviviality and is a social highlight of spring for many people from Raubling and the surrounding area.
The municipality of Raubling is located in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim, nestled in the pre-Alpine landscape of the Chiemsee-Alpenland. The region is known for its vibrant inn culture and brewing tradition – the Starkbierfest is an authentic expression of this way of life.
