Visits to Oktoberfest - A World Class Event

Welcome to the first Blog dedicated to visiting Munich and the annual Oktoberfest ritual. Many of us have been visiting this “celebration of all celebrations”, as a group since 1993. We hope to share our experiences, provide tips for visiting, and give you our views on the typical “what to do” and “what not to do”. But primarily we want to have some good discussions with those of you who love beer, and may or may not have ever visited this fine event. Give us your thoughts.

Be sure to visit these great resources...Cheers!

A Big Thank You to the Grand Puhba as he is...

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of brew… the thrill of the drink… and the agony of the drunk… the human drama of athletic consumption… this is ABC's Wide World of Brew!

The Training Continues


Oktoberfesters....


This week I have taken training in the land of the rising sun. I have sought the barley... yet found none. Here in this strange land they use rice to make their beer. How odd, yet refreshing. Not a Bud... no this is a different taste. Good with cold dead fish...


They prefer the grain alternative that goes by such strange names as Suntory, and Johnnie Walker. Yet beer (they pronounce Beer-O) is prevalent and plentiful here.

Here in the Narita Beerhall I am enjoying Asahi Super "Dry". The Beer For All Seasons.

Rejoice in diversity and exuberance to all that is BEER!
