Erlangen: No Beer Fest This Year, but the Beer Garten Is Open

 



Entlas Keller  in Erlangen
-Nuernberger Nachrichten

The Franconian town of Erlangen has had to cancel its annual beer fest this year, but with the restaurant business re-opening as of May 19, the beer fest grounds are open to an extent. That is because the popular outdoor Entlas Keller, situated on the beer fest grounds, is open during warm weather months and is now in operation.

Most of Erlangen's "beer gardens" are located in the back porch area of certain restaurants. The beer fest grounds, located at the base of a (small) mountain (Burgberg) on the north side of town, have man-made caves built into the sides of the rock which were originally created to keep beer cool (prior to refrigeration). 

So if you happen to be in Erlangen during spring-fall and are looking for a beer garden, this is the place to go.  The Entlas Keller's menu during this time is limited (or it was last time I was there in 2013), but you can't beat the real beer garden atmosphere.
