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!

The Pilgrimige Continues...

In keeping with The Grand Puhba's directive, I have sought out and found another holy place of worship. This new place, called The Brew Kettle, is most interesting. Not only does it brew and serve excellent Golden (and Brown and Amber and Light Tan) Nectar, but it is a place for home brewers to congregate and brew their own as well.

I discovered this place while in Cleveland last week for my mother's funeral. Some may call this sacrilegious, seeking out venues of pleasure during such a solemn time, but I felt it appropriate for drowning my sorrows. While there was much to choose from, I imbibed on Stone Ruination IPA. A great mixture of flavor, aroma, and almost chewy hops... just the way Chugger likes it.

Since I am heading back to Cleveland today for yet another funeral (my sister's Father-in-Law), I will once again pay homage at this place of worship. This time I hope to sample more than one style of nourishment.

Prosit ! !

Here's some home brewers at work...
