The Göckelesmaier, known by some affectionately as the “chicken tent,” is an institution in Stuttgart, Germany. Stuttgart is home to two enormous beer festivals, one in the spring and one in the fall. Since 1998, Karl Maier and his wife Daniella have led their family business, which launched in the 1950s. Our conversation, which was recorded in 2021, covers the history of the Göckelesmaier, its evolution, and some of the unique and delicious aspects of German harvest festival culture. So go grab a liter of beer and listen up. Prost, zum Wohl, Cheers. I hope you enjoy.
