Munich’s famed frothy festival, Oktoberfest, may get all of the glory, but the world is full of destinations where the natives know – and love – their beer, and where you can sample some local brew all year long. We sipped our way around the world and came up with ten great destinations for beer lovers – how about a visit to an overlooked German city that’s home to over a dozen beer gardens?

So no matter how you say “cheers” – whether Prost! Na zdraví! Kampai! Salúd! – our list of the top cities for beer lovers will help you raise a glass around the globe.
