Who doesn’t love a fresh, cold bottle of beer? Since its debut, every man in the world, and even some women, can’t seem to live life without their intoxicating buddy. They really don’t seem to mind so long as they enjoy the bitter treat of this beverage. The average Germans are seen as somewhat rigid and stern, but one thing we have in common is that they are also fond of beer more than we can imagine, so to raise up their mugs and celebrate their favorite drink, Germans soon invented the Oktoberfest as a Munich Beer Festival.
It all started in 1810 when a ceremonious wedding was celebrated with culinary spectacles and racing horses. After the festivity, the people seemed to be delighted more with an exquisite culinary piece, also known as beer. The festivity soon paved the way for an annual event, which gained popularity around the world. Although the actual drinking spree is known as the Oktoberfest, it happens during the month of September. What can I say but the festival is one hell of a beer party with roller coaster rides, amusements, circus performances, live bands, and parades! No wonder there seems to be a growing number of participants every year for 16 straight days of fun and excitement. With the superb varieties of beer in town, you get to taste the best adventure in Germany.
