Dude: Let me get a round for the table. Fräulein: But you are all alone at the table? Twelve beers for one man? Dude: The Dude imbibes. The Dude imbibes.
Anyone who has ever been to Oktoberfest knows how popular it is among Asian tourist. I've read that Oktoberfest has even been reincarnated in Japan, right down to the smallest Om-pa band detail. Now that's my kind of globalization.
When I first started looking for images of Oktoberfest I started from the most logical place: google images. And this is probably the most common image you'll see. I don't know who she is, but I love the smiles and I love the beers. Prost!
It's March 1st, the beginning of the month when Märzen beer is brewed for Oktobefest. Only six more months until Oktoberfest. More beer, more girls, and more pictures to come. Cheers!
I used to live in Munich, and one day when I was missing the place and doing an image search, I was struck by what I thought are the best images of Oktoberfest. What are they? Women in dirndls drinking whole liters (Maß) of beer. They seem to capture all that I loved about Munich: beer, Oktoberfest (and other beer fests) and pretty girls! So here is my tribute. These are images I've scrounged up around the web, but if you've got some of your own, email them to me and I'll include them in the tribute. Prost!
