Founded right here in Chicago in 2010, Revolution Brewing. I walked in a store and at the entry were these boxes of German-Style Lager. Love the advertisement. I also like lager style beers. While I’m not a regular beer drinker, during Oktoberfest, it’s fun to have one.
We are at the tail end of Oktoberfest.
If you haven’t been to Munich for Oktoberfest, here’s a great YouTube video discussing the different beer tents you can visit. Lots to choose from.
Here’s to next year! If the dollar stays strong a trip to Munich will be lots of fun!
Cheers!
Brilliant Viewpoint 
I lived in Frankfurt for three years. I have done Octoberfest in Munich, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and Stuttgart. What they do here in the US is a poor man’s version.

Absolutely, the Germans have the tradition, warmth in personality, real enjoyment. It’s the same when they try to do German Xmas markets here, it’s just not the same! I found Frankfurt to be Industrial, I have not been to Heidelberg. Did you like it? Really enjoy Bavaria / Bonn/Bad Godesberg area.

Yes, Frankfurt’s was a little more industrial (good word usage!), but they had the best Kris Kringle Market before Christmas. It took up the entire downtown Hauptwache for two weeks and put to shame the 30 Rock festivities! Heidelberg’s’ was a little smaller than the other Octoberfests, but the atmosphere did not suffer one bit! Munich’s was huge! The beer was great, but the food was even better.

In Munich, one of my favorite foods at the Xmas market was Dampfnudel w/the vanilla sauce. Have you had it? And of course, all the cakes/pastries/breads. Amazing! https://eatsmarter.com/recipes/dampfnudel-german-sweet-buns-with-vanilla-custard

Cannot say I tried that, but I was pretty much into the eggnog and spiced apple cider, so I stopped asking what I was eating and just munched. I did enjoy the Schaumkusse. Way too many Schaumkusse.

How do you say “cheers” in German? 🙂

Prost! You’re right, I should have signed off the German way. 🙂

A friend went with her family to Oktoberfest in Germany just before the pandemic: they got outfits made so they’d “fit in” and they couldn’t stop raving about it when they got back 🙂

Absolutely, so glad they wore their outfits. This is a special festival and the Germans really do dress up, all of them. It’s BEAUTIFUL to see.

Hi Monica,
While I never acquired the taste for any kind of beer, it sounds like a great trip. I will add to my list.
Blessings!
