Kerwa Kalender & Kronicles: Beer Hiking on the 7 Brewery Trail

The consecration of the local church known as Kirchweih in high German is one one of the more festive days of the year in any given German town, especially small villages. They are largely like mini-Folk Festivals, sometimes featuring rides/games for the kids and local delicacies. Of course, it being Germany, there's always beer on hand.
