You could drink less and pretend to be a gentleman from a weird island kingdom. It would probably help with the ladies and be a refreshing change from all those half dead Australians.

Herself might have a few words to say about that. Quite strident words. Vicious even.

Ok, a lonely gentleman from a weird and exotic island kingdom who does not understand a word and needs lots of help to understand what all this is about. That sounds harmless enough even if she finds out.

So what can we do to bail you out? Would it work to have Men in Black take you with them in black vans? Fake terrorists who kidnap you? Aliens?

I was once there for the Bicentenary, and it was enough for me. I live less than 60 km away... and I won't go anymore.

- Huge amounts of really drunk people
- Huge inflated prices (come on, 2 years ago 10,5 € for "a' Mass Bier", I suppose now would be around 12€ or so)(Side effect... you pay with 15€ and you won't always get change back)
- Long waiting times everywhere you want to go
- Quite high amount of pickpockets
- If you are a woman... quite big amount of drunken jerks that will easily get over the limit

Can it be funny? Yes
Will it be funny? Not necessarily
Is it something to be seen at least once in a lifetime? Yes
Is it something one wants to repeat? In my case... definitively not

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Right, all that belongs to the package, just as the rides. Or Kaiserschmarrn. I always eat some of that. Or when the boss reserves a table and we all go there for an afternoon (guess where all those really drunk people come from!).

I lived 5 years in Berlin...never zipped down to Munich for it.
I lived 15 years near Kaiserslautern, never zipped over to Munich for it.
Now I'm living in Esslingen/Neckar and probably won't cruise down the A8 to Munich for it.

Definitely on my bucket list. This may be a strange question but is there a wide variety of ales (not just gassy lager's) available as I generally prefer English type ales and some of the Weissbier's (spelling?) I've tried?

CodeWraith2-Aug-17 2:01

No, usually not. Part of the problem is that we usually think of ales as too flat and served too warm (as opposed to 'gassy', I guess). We even joke that they warm up the beer in England before serving it. Drink quickly before it gets cold. Smile | :)

In the 'tents' at the Oktoberfest they serve the 'Festbier' which each brewery makes especially for the event. No ale there, sorry.

And there is nothing more gassy than Weissbier. The good news is that you get plenty of that (even plenty of different sorts) all year and everywhere else.

... and so it drops off the bucket list unfortunately as I've never been able to stomach lagers Frown | :-(

Looks fun though, hope you have a great time when it comes back around Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

There is nearly no variety.

Only Munich based breweries are allowed to serve beer at the Oktoberfest. There are six such breweries and they make all a special one (pale lager, called Oktoberfestbier or Wiesnbier) served only at the Oktoberfest which is stronger than the common brands (about 6 % alc).

Besides the Oktoberfestbier, you can also get the Weissbier (your spelling is correct according to the latest German ortography rules) from these breweries. It is also named Weizenbier (wheat beer).

There is only one large gathering in this town. It's called Oktoberfest (which also has 11 letters). But Bavaria is not Germany, so that can't be the solution and I would not have the time to make a new riddle for tomorrow.

LabVIEWstuff1-Aug-17 23:00

1-Aug-17 23:00

I did think about using 'Bavarian gathering' but thought that would make it too obvious.

Anyway, correct answer CodeWraith so it's either your turn tomorrow, or you can delegate it to the first person to come up with the correct solution?

Griff has saved me, which probably is a good thing. In just a few weeks we will be seeing a lot of these[^] everywhere and then next month the Oktoberfest will begin again.
