Oktoberfest with Flex Tools in Germany!
Oktoberfest with Flex Tools in Germany!
Here's a few pictures I took to try to capture what Oktoberfest was like from our tent. Note that while the word tent might conjure up ideas of a physical tent like used at Carnivals and Fairs, these were actually wooden structures with picnic style seating and LOTS of people!
The menu

Obviously this picture was taken with my iPhone but after this picture most the pictures you'll see in this thread were taken with my trusty, dusty Canon Rebel until the battery went dead...
The waiters kept the tables filled with mugs of beer at all times... even if you still had a beer, more beer was brought...

It's still early as you can see it's still daylight as you look out into the crowds outside the tent. Note how most people are still station on the benches... the later it gets... the more people start standing on the seats and swaying...

We had two tables to ourselves, these must be reserved ahead of time. Suby and Bob going over the menu Nick wants Chicken!

Here's the folks from Flex at our other table... not Jill is way in the back with our friends from Poland. Monica is sitting just up from her a few spaces...

Isn't that beer just great? No headaches next day. Not brewed like our beer (quick).

The pictures don't do it justice. It was a great time and if you remotely like the taste of beer one bit, this is an event everyone should attend at least once in their lifetime. :dblthumb2:

Reminds me of the restaurants in Frankenmuth, MI.... just confirms how well they've recreated the German atmosphere up there.

I'm from Michigan, and although I've been to Frankenmuth several times as a child, I've never had the pleasure of actually having fun there. If it's as good as everyone says it is, I'll have to check it out next time I'm in the area.

I too was there several times with family when I was a kid. The big attraction was of course always Bronner's, as well as either Zehnder's or the Bavarian Inn. Between the two, I'd say Zehnder's is the better place to go.
