Fasswagen

I made up the term "Fasswagen" on my own. I take no responsibility if you ruin your Deutsch with your own use of it, if it is in fact not a permissible term. ;) Yes, groups of people haul their own kegs around from place to place. While we were there though, these lads bought a round of Schnapps, as well as ice cream. And they may have also drunk Kellerbier there before we'd arrived. It's a traditional thing. It also happens on "Vatertag", which seems to fall on Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascencion Day?). Perhaps a native could elaborate?
