Who has been to the Munich Oktoberfest?

I was there in 2000. I don't drink so I wasn't a lot of fun. The down side was leaving and taking public transportation back to the hotel. Too many foreigners puking on the busses and trains.

Never made to a Munich Octoberfest but attended many local volksfest while in Germany. Big tent, ompa band any pretty fralines serving big mugs of beer. Great times.

Haven't yet but it's on my must do list.

Fall of'76. Was there for REFORGER exercise USA. Had a blast. Picture an American carnival awash with beer. The types of different beers were mind-boggling. Go and stay with a group. Be prepared for crowds.

I haven't been for Oktoberfest, but was there for the BMW Museum and the Christkindlmarkt. It was fun traveling Germany and I'd definitely go back!

I have relatives who have gone and they have told me I should put it on my travel “bucket-list.”

I have gone to a Polish Beer festival deep in old Salt Mine in a huge room.
It was great.

It is worth trying the many foreign beers.

The beers from around the northern British city of York are very good, perhaps because of Viking influence.

It is worth learning about the special water chemistry used to make “India Pale Ale” and trying IPA’s.

I am german and have no plans to ever visit it

I'm guessing you're not Bavarian, German ?
