Nice Jugs Indeed ! !

While they are not as impressive as the jugs discussed in the article about the Dirndls, these jugs are nonetheless impressive...

God bless the delivery man.

Optical Radiation Directive

According to Der Spiegel:

The potentially dull-sounding EU "Optical Radiation Directive" has got British tabloid The Sun in near hysteria today, as the paper fears it will lead to the end of the traditional English busty barmaid. According to the paper, the directive will ban barmaids "from wearing low-cut tops" as "barmaids run a skin cancer risk if they expose themselves to the sun when they go outside to collect glasses." The paper's ire was roused by recent reports that waitresses at the Munich's famous Oktoberfest would be forced by the directive to cover a little more cleavage. Waitresses at the festival wear the traditional 'dirndl' dress which accentuates the bust line and carry drinks to tables in the summer sunshine. In response to rumours that the dress would be outlawed by the directive, Munich's mayor threatened never again to go into a beer garden in the city if the dirndl was done away with.

Luckily the caption for the picture says: "Don't worry, nobody is going to stop you looking at their jugs."

Whew!

Brew Trip report - Israel

I recently returned from Israel, where I enjoyed the hospitality immensly. There was generally good beer to be found, including the local brews, Goldstar and Maccabi. Both are great to drink in the heat. There is another beverage called Malty which is non-alcoholic, and very sweet, like wirt. Yuch.

Tel Aviv is a great party town, with bars & beaches galore, great restaurants. Here's a photo of yours truly enjoying a Weinhenstephan, from the oldest brewery in the world (729 AD). Good brew, good times.... gearing up for the big one in 57 days!

Be Careful at Oktoberfest... the results of too much beer!

Find an Oktoberfestian ! ! !

With only 57 days until arrival, activity is increasing both locally and at the Wiesn. It is even more appropriate now to continue our discussions, get more serious, get less serious, and just plain communicate. You never know who may be watching. And speaking of watching, there are Oktoberfest Police everywhere. Can you find the Traveling Oktoberfester amongst some of Munich's finest?
