------------------------- Oktoberfest Smackdown: USA v. German Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. A total of 6.9 million visitors squeezed into the cavernous beer tents in Munich this year, downing over 7.5 million "steins," litre-sized measures of the amber nectar, despite a record high price of €9 ($12.50). That's a significant increase from the 6.4 million people who drank seven million litres last year. The German Oktoberfest beers are world famous but just how good are they? Are they better than the United States versions? That's what we'll find out at our October 9th meeting as we taste and rate Oktoberfest beers from some of the finest brewers in both Germany and the US. If you didn't make it to Munich here's you chance to experience what it's all about anyway - beer! Don't miss our first ever Oktoberfest Smackdown October 9, Sunday, at 4 PM ------------------------------ Video from Oktoberfest or was it our last meeting? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZPuT1ycbpk&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o8cFgxnChA&feature=related |
