Hi Jon,
The Derblecken is held before the public opening of the Starkbierfest. This night of political satire will take place on 28 February in 2013.
So your're free to choose between the Friday and the Sunday.
Have a great time at the Strong Beer Festival, there's a great atmosphere there and it really is fantastic tasting beer.
All the best,
Stuart
