Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world, held in the city of Munich. He appeared on October 17, 1810. In over 200 years of annual kegger, drunkenness only stopped because of major problems, such as wars and diseases. Despite its name, Oktoberfest now starts in mid-September, when it rains little and it is so cold, and extends to the very beginning of October. Every year, the mayor of Munich opens the festival with a hammer in the first barrel of beer to be consumed.
