London’s biggest beer garden is set to come to Mile End Park this summer as part of a German beer festival.
German Bierfest London will be embracing all things Bavarian for two weekends, offering three different types of traditional handmade beer.
Traditional German food including bratwurst and schnitzel will also be available.
“We are bringing a 2,000-seat Biergarten to London. We call it frühlingsfest in Germany. That means we celebrate the spring starts and the winter is over,” said event manager Martin Kluge.
“And typically, we do it with beer.”
