Christmas Beer Festival (Heuvelhal)

O.B.E.R. (Objective Beer tasters Essen Region) organizes its Christmas Beer Festival every year. For two days visitors can taste about 170 Belgian Christmas and winter beers in 15 cl tasting glasses. Their beer list is regarded als one of the best in the world, with several scoops and interesting gems combined with world classics. At last year's festival about 3000 thirsty Christmas-beer-lovers came to the festival in Essen. And not only Belgium! A shuttle bus is provided between the Railway Station Essen and the festival.
