Possible Bier Immersion Alternative

With the declining probability of Oktoberfest occurring, or even a Germany trip without the 'Fest, alternative activities have been discussed. One that seems intriguing is a roadtrip to visit the various U.S.-based Hofbräuhauses. Various Oktoberfestians have been to different establishments, but let's do them all together.

There are seven different establishments (the Chicago location just recently closed), and six of them can be easily visited over the course of 5-6 days. These include St. Louis-Belleville, Newport, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Cleveland and Columbus. The remaining location is Las Vegas, and we could suggest a weekend trip to Sin City 😆 However, even Las Vegas is now temporarily closed. What is this world coming to, I ask rhetorically.

A possible itinerary could look like the following:

We could head west to St. Louis, then head east to do the loop. Probably should go soon so they don't all close on us.

Please opine, or offer other ridiculous alternatives.

Travel Probability Meter Reduced

The latest news from the EU and Germany in general is not looking good, so I lowered the travel probability.

Lockdowns Return or are Extended

Maybe time to plan a different excursion somewhere in the States? Dopplebach and I discussed a few alternatives. What say the Oktoberfestians?

Argh ! Time for a Bier.

New Presentation of Probability Meter

It seems that the original intent of the Probability Meter has caused confusion. Since there are actually two different outcomes that could occur, it is probably useful to have two different views of the Probability Meter.

I have changed the original view to consider the probability of Oktoberfest occurring. By definition, if there is an Oktoberfest, we will attend, and do the Bier Immersion.

A second view now considers the probability that Oktoberfest may not occur, but travel will be permitted, enabling the Bier Immersion. We may still visit München, but without the 'Wiesn.

Hopefully this keeps us communicating more accurately.

Vaccination Scheduled for Thursday.

Just got it scheduled.  Pfizer.  

Lower the Probability Meter Again?
