Beer Fact # 18

 Beer Fact #18

• Every year, Germany organises the biggest beer festival in the world, Oktoberfest. About 6 million people visit the festival. 

So I went to Oktoberfest in 2018 and I love beer and I drink beer frequently.  I can't drink as much as I used to drink. But I still drink more beer than most of my friends. Or so I thought.  I went to the festival with my German friends and the amount of beer consumed that night scared me.

"Finished for the night!"

A few responses from friends:

KF: steal a glass.  I did.

Me: you were 16 then. we are now 61.

BW: Yes, just like I did in England ages ago, with a Guinness mug. They EXPECT you to steal them, lolol.

BW: Wait, there's beer left!!!!

Munich

Munich

January 2012

It's a cold, clear day in Munich.  We are taking a walking tour of the city. We finish the tour by climbing to the top of this tower and peering down on this beautiful city.  As we descend the steps Tilman tells me he was a treat for me.  We wander over to the Open Market and he buys us a glass of hot wine. We lean on one of the tall tables and slowly sip our warm drink until the sun goes down for the day. Then it is too cold to be outside so we hurry back to our hotel.
