Attending Oktoberfests in 2024

[Josh Hughes]

I know quite a few of us love to go to seasonal festivals and Oktoberfest season is close. Post pictures and information about the ones you are going to.

Tomorrow is my first one. A little early I know. Maysville Ky. This is the third time I’ve went. It’s close, 30 minutes so I’m not sure why I haven’t been more often. Last 2 times they had Spaten on tap and food trucks from Cincinnati for Brats and other German food.

In September I’ll go to Columbus Oh for theirs. It’s much bigger obviously. Last year they had Hofbrau Festbier and Dunkel, Paulaner Marzen and lots of craft I didn’t drink since I was at Oktoberfest plenty of great booths and food there. https://columbusoktoberfest.com/

First weekend of October I’ll host my third Joshtoberfest with home brewed Festbier and Marzen with grills brats and other German foods.

Our taproom has our first one tomorrow called AUGtoberfest. The official release of our marzen beer on draft and in cans. It's mostly a fun excuse for our regulars to show up in lederhosen and drink out of liter steins

Our main event is next month called Rocktoberfest featuring live music all day, food trucks, the whole shebang.

Maysville Oktoberfest today. We had a blast! Mettwurst to eat for me and Sophie and my wife had Geotta. They had Spaten Marzen, Warsteiner’s Pils, dunkel, and Oktoberfest on tap. I had Spaten’s and Warsteiner’s Oktoberfests. Both were quite tasty as expected. My wife like Spaten better. They were quite different so for me it was a matter of if I wanted a Marzen (Spaten) or Festbier (Warsteiner). Last pic is Sophie try the chicken dance. We came with a buddy, his wife and 2 kids.

Hey Josh Hughes,
It sounds like you had a fantastic time at there. What other activities did you enjoy at the festival besides the food and beer?

We have the (self proclaimed) biggest Barvarian Fest in Canada 20 minutes away in Kitchener/Waterloo, oddly, I have never been. The whole drinking and driving thing, and raising kids after moving to this area are my excuses. Kids are adults now, so much for that excuse now...

Kitchener Ontario was originally called Berlin, they changed the name to Kitchener shortly after WWII.

When I know I am having more than a couple 20 minutes away, that is when the phone comes out and the Uber App gets selected.

Heading to Columbus OH for Oktoberfest today! https://columbusoktoberfest.com/

My wife and I are traveling out of the country for the first time in about a week. We are going to Greece. After we had set up the trip and into at least a month of commitment, the travel agent sent out the messages that if any of us wanted to we could spend a couple of days in Germany. We jumped at the chance. Right at the beginning of the Oktoberfest. I have no idea what to expect, but am really looking forward to it.

Hofbrau Festbier and Paulaner Oktoberfest for me. Hofbrau Dunkel for Kim. Liter 3 depends on how long Sophie plays. Great place for kids

 

[Josh Hughes]

I’m thinking another hofbrau Oktoberfestbier. May be my last post of the day. What a great time though. I also got a lowenbrau half liter glass for $15. Weather is upper 60s F. Great day. Kim is driving all is well

 

[Sandy Feet]

Damn! It was about 10 degrees warmer than that at 7am when I was starting the lawn.
"Kim is driving". That is a good lady.

 

[Josh Hughes]

Kims is awesome. Sophie is playing and we are taking turns watching her. They have inflatables so she is playing.

We got a shit load of rain last night, I actually called out football game since lighting and the ass beating and temp is perfect today. 21-0 after 9 minutes of the first quarter before our second lightning delay. No reason to keep playing.

 

[Josh Hughes]

91 High yesterday before rain.

We are young and QB and Center hurt last week.
