Oans, zwoa, O'zapft is















Yes, das Oktoberfest hat angefangen !
Exactly 12.00 a.m. Herr Oberburgermeister has connected the tap to the barrel. He only needed 2 hits (it is a record) to let the beer stream.
Schlumberger Lady and I were watching the live-broadcast and made some pictures to share.

Mucho Kudos to barbus and Schlumber Lady for their dedication resourcefulness documenting this wonderous activity.

It is so much more real knowing that the first Mass has been drawn.

Ein Prosit !

The good news is that the bier is flowing. The bad news is that with every minute that goes by, there is less for us. Yikes.
