    Oktoberfest

    Has anyone here been in Germany for this festival? It's on September 22-October 7th this year. Looks class!

    An absolute blast what I can remember about it anyway. The strength & quality of the beer is unnatural & as you'd expect with the Shermans it's run efficiently.

    Would recommend it, go for it!

    I went in my younger days, rating myself as a bigtime drinker, but 3 days of 12 hour drinking in a row (have to be there v early to get your place) and I came back a broken man.

    Not so much the hangovers, more the bruises, cuts and scrapes from falling off the tables or being taken out by other fallers from the table dancing. And not once did I see a stein break!!! I also got inadvertently batoned by riot police who were brought in to clear out an overcrowded toilet block.

    I would advise bringing lots of money. I went about 5 years ago and all it in cost me about E1500 for a weekend.

    I also haven't been able to eat chicken legs or pretzels since....

    But everyone should do it once!

    Went on a rollercoaster after loads of beer at Oktoberfest and it wasn't pleasant!

    Six of us went over last September. Did five nights, reckon that was one too many. 3 or 4 nights would be an ideal trip I reckon.

    we stayed in the meninger hotel/hostel (think thats the spelling) on lansberger strasse. its about a 5-10 walk to the octoberfest. basic hotel/hostel but it did the job.
