After months of over-time at the monastary/brewery, the time has finally arrived to roll out the barrels ....
Oktoberfest is here!!
Yep, 21 October through 6 September is that most holy of German holidays in Muenchen, Bavaria; where enormous tents are erected in a field, and beer is drunk in quantities hardly to be believed.
So, I hereby open this beer tent for the patronage of all SYMers. I'm afraid my duties at the brewery are still such that I will not have much time to join in the revelries, but I have stocked the tent with some two gross of good German Oktoberfest barrels, and I am sure the Rolling Thunder boys will bring, uh, something different for those of you willing to risk it.
Enjoy, all!!

Derision, scorn, and failure to understand do not move us. The future belongs to us ... Weasel for President!!
...it's not everyday that I get to have swigs and swigs of what is presumably the best beer in the world.

@der Moench. Nice thread.
The area of Australia I live in was mainly German settled, and we have a Schutzenfest in January, when the weather is hottest. A few people go target shooting and every one else fills up on beer and sausage.
I feel right at home here.
You know, I never really understood The Oktoberfest. I've seen tv programmes about it, since we (in holland) get some german tv stations. All I understaind is that there is lots of beer and bratwurst, and though this is actually enough... I'm curious.
yay! the beers are plentiful and the lederhosen are on the house thigh-slapping fun for all the family (if your family are all alcaholic sausage lovers, that is)

LOL Mr Scruff? And that person dancing with lederhosen is probably me. I seem to be a bit drunk at the moment, with all the German beer here, I seem to have gotten a bit excited....
Seriously though....I have just recieved news that if all goes well, Im going to be an uncle! My sister has been 2 months pregnant and things look good. Shes feeling basically well, nautious sometimes but I think thats natural. The doctor says shes healthy and Im excited about being an uncle. Along with that, Ive watched a good amount of American football today and 80's music videos, so things go very well.

So, *twirls around* how do you like the outfit ??? :cool
Cute.........
BTW-I REALLY want things to go well with my sisters baby, she has been hoping for some time now about a baby and shes put many things on hold, so while this may be a happy occasion, Im also praying that everything goes well, because if it doesnt, well.....it could really set things back.

YAY! Thanks. Yes. If all goes well, then yes. It will be a completely new experience, cause Ive never seen a birth........well except for my own, but I think that one is a LITTLE beyond my recollection.
