(TRAVPR.COM) USA - September 18th, 2015 - Philadelphia, PA -- Immediate Release -- Fall "Beer, Bratwurst and Beyond" Tour to Bavaria Will Highlight Hidden Craft Beer Hotspots and Germany's Beer-Brewing Nun.
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.
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.

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.
