Oktoberfest 2015

Oktoberfest Juárez..???

As in Juárez, Mexico?

Muy bueno, ja?

Más de 50 cervezas artesanales... but it doesn't say what those cervezas are.

Interesting that the logo at Facebook says Juarez and El Paso... sounds like a law enforcement nightmare!

And the Mexican Facebook page says 15 cervezas artesanales... de la region. Hmm...

@rocdoc1 -- care to recon the Fest for us?

 

Benito Juárez in lederhosen is amusing though - considering he allowed the execution Maximilian von Habsburg, whose
maternal grandfather was King Maximilian I of Bavaria.

 

Do any of you Oktoberfest vets know which sections in the Hofbrau tent and the Hacker tent are NON-Reservation tables? I'm looking to get in early next Mon-Tue and be able to hold my spot throughout the day and not get the boot at 5pm when evening reservations roll in. Thanks!

The majority of the main floor, center in all tents are usually open (non-reserved). You'll be able to recognize the reserved areas -- they have fancy table cloths!

In the tent plans you link -- the areas marked as "boxes" are usually reserved areas. If you get in early and sit at a non-reserved table I'm pretty sure it won't be reserved out from under you.

 

I went Thursday around noon and easily found a seat. On Friday around 1:30, everywhere was full. The size and scope is impressive, a great party.




I ended my Friday at fav with a Tap 5 & 6

 

Attending Oktoberfest is like making love to a beautiful woman with bad hygiene. You think you're enjoying yourself, but really, you are not.

 

I was about 15 feet away from your 3rd Hacker pic location on Tuesday. What a fun tent! But that shit got insane by 7pm! .....Alice, Alice, Who the fuck is Alice!

 

Alice? Damn, haven't heard that played at The Fest in years....

Prosit!!

 

I apologize for being a bit lax here lately ... Have been back from Europe 2 weeks now.... but have been working weekdays and last weekend I had a WWII re-enacting event.... Just getting my pix sorted and edited, though I have uploaded all my new Bier reviews.... Hope to have some sort of trip recap posted soon.... Prosit!!

 

Quick link to my Facebook pix.... Recap still to come...

Prosit!

 

You're one'a those Facebook guys, eh?

Your account is set so that only Facebook Members (insert snooty, exclusive Monty Python-esque exclamation here ) can have a peek.

 

Ah, OK. I thought it was just because Im not on Facebook.

 

The viewing setting I put was "public" and not "friends", so I guess you have to be logged into FB to see it...

 

Bummer. Well, I'm sure it was a spectacular time as usual!

 

I'll get some pics up here once I load them to some pic-hosting site....

Prosit!

 

Ah, no worries, whatever is easiest! Thanks either way.

A bit off topic, but did you go to the Smuttynose Oktoberfest? I'm curious how their new beer garden is.

Prosit!

 

I didn't go to their Ofest, but I have been to the Biergarten, and it's a lovely area; quite relaxing.... too bad it only opened so late in the year....

 

It is.

There's another setting (somehow) where non-Facebook members can see your page, but just not "participate."
