What is Oktoberfest? – It’s a traditional German celebration dating all the way back to the 1800s. This year, the festival officially starts on the 17 of October, although here in Australia, the celebrations can last well into November! Too much of a good thing is never enough.

The beginning of the festival is marked by the tapping of the first keg of Oktoberfest beer by the Mayor of Munich, the home of Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, this means Aussies don’t get to enjoy their first official sip until 8pm EST – but good luck getting us to wait!
