I had my B'day/Oktoberfest last Saturday...

It was great... 20 people (including the ladies)... BBQ, Beer... Simple.

BBQ consisted of bratwurst and cheese kranskis, mustards, saurkraut etc etc

beer consisted of:
15L of my okotbefest Lager,
5L of my bitburger,
5L of my hefe dunkel
5L of my dark lager
5L of fransizkaner hefe and
5L of kostrizer schwarzbier.
and about 6 weihenstephaners we had lying around in the fridge.
A few people brought their own beers too (farken TEDS).

It all went (except the TEDS)... i was happy that everyone liked the beer especially the oktoberfest Lager (Thanks for the recipe TL).

Oopma music was cranking all night...

I got smashed... must've been the 1L steins of fransizkaner and kostrizer i had later in the night.

Next year shall be better if i manage to get my Keg system set up... I got a bit sick of washing all those bottles...

Get into it everyone... its a piece of piss to organise an oktoberfest, just get all your mates to bring some german beer and a stein, and you can get the kranskis and bratwurst from any decent butcher..

I did end up getting all that merchandise from Weihenstephan too... that ended up taking 10 Months to get here, but it arrived 2 weeks ago...

I think i ended up taking a photo of the set up... I'll see if i can find it, and post it..

That sounds awesome James L.

I will be in a new house with a new brewery for next year so I'm already planning it.

I'm missing the pretzels this year!

Ah! eisbein und sauerkraut down in Raatskeller of the Concordia Club Sydney at three oclock in the morning. They were the days. I drank unfathomable litres of Lowenbrau in that place.

I'm hitting the real thing this year. Can't wait.

theres always someone who has to rub it in.... HeHe...
