This obviously means that a selection of seasonally appropriate beers lands in the shelves for a month or two.
The selection is pretty much the same, year on year. After all, there’s only so much variety that can be packed into the beer whose main attraction is quaffability from a heavy maß. This year’s crop packs two new arrivals: Hacker-Pschorr’s Märzen and Svaneke’s Oktoberfest.
I’ve never been to the festival. For some reason during the Nokia Siemens Networks days the joint sessions hosted in Bavaria were always packed full. Even if there’s not that much beer-wise but volume, the massive festival grounds and crowds would have been interesting to see.
FI: Oktoberfest ei yllätä. Valikoimaltaankaan.

Made it once. Is a party, but also a logistics headache. Waitresses visit the table not that often and one has to very carefully synchronize ordering new beer, visiting loo, receiving the beer, and consuming that beer and not to miss a round and all this while trying to sing in German

Yeah, I recall having been semi-jealous of the trip, but the description of the logistics involved tempered my enthusiasm.
