News-Antique.com – Sep 18,2015 – September 18th, 2015 – Philadelphia, PA — Immediate Release Craft beer lovers will experience the best of Bavaria’s little-known craft beer scene on a special industry-sponsored, nine-day insider’s tour focusing on women beer-makers and celebrating the tradition of small-scale native breweries and local food. The dates are October 5-13, 2015.

Beer, Bratwurst and Beyond is offered in cooperation with the Pink Boots Society, the nation’s leading group for women in the beer trade. Four U.S. craft breweries are sponsoring the tour. The Brewers’ Association of Upper Franconia and the Association of Private Breweries in Bavaria are in-country sponsors.

Led by Philadelphia-based Treasures of Europe Tours, the trip is the only German beer tour that skips Big Beer destinations and focuses on regional, under-the-radar breweries and hidden craft beer hot-spots in the nooks and crannies of Bavaria.

Tour participants will enjoy a private session and tasting with Sister Doris, Bavaria’s iconic nun brewer, at Mallersdorf Abbey. They’ll meet brewers at two other abbey breweries, stay in a village that’s completely surrounded by its original medieval town wall, sleep in a brewery inn dating to 1425 and visit Germany’s top “green” brewery.

Other highlights include:

· Kick-off event and private tasting hosted by the Bavarian Association of Private Breweries

· Survey and tasting led by one of Germany’s top sommeliers

· Sessions and tours with up-and-coming women beer-makers in Franconia and the Upper Palatinate
