We were lucky with the weather and sat outside, but my wife and I had a look around inside, when we popped in to use the toilets.<br /><br />We all enjoyed Oktoberfest. Our son thought it would just be a large hall, full of people drinking, so he was surprised at what else there was, plus the number of tents (halls really!). We actually sat out in the beer garden, at the Hacker-Festzelt. They wouldn't let us in because we were carrying bottles of water, although I did pop in on my own afterwards, to take some photos.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the event, and having broken my duck and knowing how it works, I would like to go again. Nothing against the family, but going with a group of friends and visiting two or three of the tents would be a better proposition, but definitely not at a weekend!<br /><br />It would also make sense to stay out of town, and travel in using Munch's excellent public transport system.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-73862025666060101582017-10-01T18:47:01.189+01:002017-10-01T18:47:01.189+01:00"plus the odd spot of beer sampling, of cours..."plus the odd spot of beer sampling, of course."<br />Heh :)<br /><br />"gives chance for the “beer-hunter” to stumble upon often totally unknown breweries"<br />Well done on the "beer-hunter" bit.<br /><br />The Alte Linde looks like a marvelous place. Did you know of it before hand or find out whilst there or just happened upon it?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - As for Oktoberfest, once is definitely enough (mainly for the experience). Did it back in 1980 (a lot younger then of course!). Nowadays I'd opt for something like the Alte Linde instead. :)Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.com
