The German Beer Institute has these statistics about the annual Oktoberfest celebration in Munich. Over six million attend it from all over the world. They consume more than six million liters(1.75 million gallons of beer during the sixteen day event. That's 30% of Munich's total beer production for the whole year.
Since 1950, Oktoberfest officially begins when Munich's mayor taps the first barrel of beer.
In Wisconsin, there are plenty of Oktoberfest beers to choose from A really good one is put out by Capital Brewery in Middleton (near Madison). Their Oktoberfest brew is its most popular seasonal beer..
I love my Oktoberfest parties and, of course, those great Oom-Pah bands.
