Prost!

We have a pretty solid Oktoberfest in Mt. Angel Oregon.   They go all out, but we haven't been for two years.  So we did it ourselves.   3 families, a modest gathering, but really great food (sausage precooked and smoked for about 90 mins to get up to temp.)  Cucumber salad was from the garden.   I pickled my own red onions, rest is pretty much store bought prep for a party stuff.  It turned out to be a great day.

Did you drink Oktoberfest beer?  It is my favorite style.  I stock up in August and drink it thru the Fall.  My buddy has an Oktoberfest in late October the last 3 or 4 years....big tent with food on tables, horseshoe tournament, polkas on the outdoor speakers, etc.  Great time of year.  Looks like you had fun.

Have not eaten today, that spread looks so good!  Man I would tear into that with vigor!

That is a phenomenal spread. A few of my favorite foods are shown in that picture.

Did you drink Oktoberfest beer? 

Great question    We had 7 different German beers represented.  And while I do enjoy Oktoberfest (and browns and reds in general) ... the older I get, the more we pare it down to Pilsners (Czech) and Kolsch ... aka their version of light domestic beer.       There was one doppelbock that we decided to split between 6 people for tasting. 

Doesn't sound quite as exciting, but easier to manage as our festivities went from 3:00 to 11:00.
