Our group of five couples from the Orlando and Charleston area, close friends since many years, all went out and bought apparel for their first in a lifetime (but we have a feeling not the last!) visit to the “Big Daddy” of beer festivals in Munich, Germany in September, 2017. Here we make a stop at pretty Ramsau near Berchtesgaden before venturing to the festival.

The beer tent where we settled is owned by Spaten Brau
