An oldie, but still a goodie...

After work, all the brew masters from the Munich breweries sit together in a pub. Needless to say, each brewer orders beer from his own brand, i.e. the Löwenbräu guy orders Löwenbräu, the Hacker-Pschorr guy orders Hacker-Pschorr, and so on. Last one to go is the Augustiner guy. He orders a Coke. Everybody is stunned, asking - "Why?" - "Well", he finally says with a wide grin, "if you are not ordering any beers, then I won't either."

I Think I Found It !!!

I think it was the year 2007. Dan Rang took us on a tram trip to find a great little Bier Garten. The travel time seemed forever, and Dan looked like he was really in a panic. But then, all of a sudden, there it was. A nice little bier garten snuggled within some tress, right on the main street.

I think this is it, Wintergarten...

Ours is a bit more complicated....

Very tight layovers in AMS... 90 minutes.

Until the start of Oktoberfest. Let's start cranking up the posts. Show some interest Oktoberfestians.

Barbus... Please explain...

Paulaner Girl filled up our beer fridge last week.  Yay.  Have some good San Diego beer. However, for my friend's who don't like hops, she bought some Newcastle Brown Ale.

Newcastle Brown Ale is NOT from England.  It is brewed in a country called Holland.  Really?  WTF???

Starting Prep for the big event

OK,  Wedding done..  ready to focus on Oktoberfest...

Step 1:  Buy some shoes..

And no,  these aren't the $300 puke proof ones.  But I haven't puked at O'fest in a long time.  If ever.

A New Sport?

A Big Get Well to.....

Barbus.

Hope you are doing well and will be fully recovered by September.

Paging Paulaner Girl

Back in 2013 you were querying about where to buy your Dirndl. Since we all know that the one you have is wonderful, where did you eventually get it? I looking for something for Designated Walker.

An Epic Fail

Just a little aside...

Will the trend continue?

The Euro to Dollar exchange rate is improving for us. Will this trend continue, and how low will it go?

And now a word from our spiritual sponsor
