Even though Munich's Oktoberfest is the king of all beer festivals, another German bier celebration boasts its own record-setting statistics: The Berlin Beer Festival, in Berlin, Germany is home to the world's longest beer garden. Over a million people gather every August in Germany's capital city to drink beer, eat sausage, and celebrate Germany's love for every weizen, kölsch, and bock you can imagine. The mile-long beer garden boasts 1,200 different varieties of beer from 180 different brewers in Germany (of course), Czech Republic, Belgium, and the UK.

I'm not sure what the image above has to do with the Berlin Beer Festival, but I found it on the front page of their official website. Half-nude people, swords, perverted facial hair, and photoshopped surroundings. Awesome!
