In Bavarian breweries, the pork knuckle’s indelicacy is perfect, because beers are brewed for maximum flavor, unfiltered and unpasteurized, so that each sip is a meal on the tongue.

I went to Munich from Vicenza Italy when I was in the Army there in 1973...what a Blast!
It was an Insane Beer blast! for weeks and the Whole City was wild!
I still Have a Stein from it 40 Years Later...Great Times.

Stationed in Germany for many years. Went to the Munchen Oktoberfest just once and got turn off. Too many foreigners becoming “stupid drunks”. However a German girlfriend of mine showed me where the Germans went for Oktoberfest... The Bad Cannstatt Volksfest (near Stuttgart). The Germans are “fun drunks”. Had a great time there and went back every year until I was transferred back to the US.

I miss the Hofbrau haus ... I was there in July. Most relaxing fun I've had in a long time. My 17 y.o. son had his first liter of beer. Got looped. :-)
Getting the rental car up to 110 mph on the autobahn was fun too. :)

I left Caserma Ederle in Sept 1961 after 2 years. I always had a Spaten Brau whenever I traveled to München.

Was in Munich in March, 2007 - loved it!!! Oktoberfest in “Zinzinnati” will have to make due, now. Although, I just returned from a fun evening at the Louisville German-American Club’s “Oktoberfest”...fun times.

Beware of the Alps. You can slip and it'll take a while to get out!

This is pure torture....I work in Afghanistan and haven’t had a beer, and, well, you know....in almost a year.

I think a lot of these busty “Frauleins” are imported Polish girls brought in to accommodate the huge crowds

“Neu Ulm (between Augsburg and Stuttgart)”
I lived in New Ulm, Mn for several years and their Heritage Fest and October Fest is pretty good. They get a lot of EU visitors for these two events.

Since Poland is part of the EU, much more likely these days that for the Oktoberfest crowds, some Polish Frauleins will be brought in. Poles can work anywhere in the EU

Mpls and the family move to a farm just across the river from Wabasha over in WI. Loved it when "Grumpy Old Men" came out because I knew all the places it was filmed, both in Wabasha and Prescott.
