Today marks the beginning of the 16-day celebration known as the world's biggest beer bash. Millions of people visit Munich, Germany every year for this foamy fete that's been going on since the early 1800s.
Originally, a way to punctuate the end of harvest season, the official Oktoberfest is now centered around pop-up beer halls in vast tents, live music and the beloved bratwurst.
While Munich is the center of the Oktoberfest universe, there have been many spinoffs around the world, and one of those is held in my childhood stomping grounds. In Leavenworth, Oktoberfest doesn't get started until October. But it goes hard for three weekends.
I've never been! Maybe this year. But before I make that kind of commitment, I think I need to invest in my own stein.
