Looks like I'm going to the Munich Festival. Told the wife about the other two and she pointed out that we had never been to the Munich and it was the BIG ONE. Good point, gotta do certain stuff before you leave the earth and going to Oktoberfest in Munich is one of them. I can hack the crowds if the beer is good.

BTW- Do they serve it cold? Never had it at a German beer festival so...

Yeah it is cold, but it is not Ice Cold like Americans drink there beer.

Let me know if you go and I will try and go down to Munich or you guys can make a side trip up to Ansbach (it is only about 1 hour and 30 min on the autobahn).

That's a plan. It's pretty set to go at this point. Not sure of the details. But I know I'll be over there in the late September (if fate, fortune and the good Lord above spare me).

Look forward to bending an elbow with ya'!

I'm living in Munich for six or seven years now, but I've been to the Oktoberfest only once. As Adler meant, you gotta be there once, but not every year. It's too crowded for me too. But maybe this year...

And there's still the "Fruehlingsfest" - literally spring fete - just like a small Oktoberfest. Less crowded, less foreigners (no offence meant), more Bavarians. And no Paris Hilton!

Paris Hilton? Paris Hilton went to Oktoberfest? When Hollywood shows up, you know the thing has gotten commercialized. Oh well, like everyone says, gotta go at least once.

I agree the Fruehlingsfest is better.

I allways enjoyed going to the one in Stuttgart every year.
