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!

Serious Matter Before The Collective

Team,

While preparing international law enforcemnt agencies for our arrival in Europe this fall, I received a disturbing note from Ronald Nobel, head of Interpol. In it he advised me that one of our intrepid band had a "Not to Travel in Confined Spaces (NTCS)" alert issued under his passport number. Yikes.

It was stated clearly that this person must either wear a bubble-boy suit during travel OR be supervised by a Personal Inhaler. Should this person emit any noxious fumes, the Personal Inhaler must immediately suck up all the air around the offender.

Therefore, by the power invested me by the monastery of hops, I hereby appoint Chugger as Einfahrt's Personal Inhaler.

Here is a link to the evidence presented by Interpol. A thermal image of Einfahrt's last trip to Amsterdam. (Thermal images make you look skinnier than you really are)
