Title: Oktoberfest!
Post by: pz on September 28, 2013, 11:53:34 PM: One of our local delicatessens puts on an annual Oktoberfest complete with good beer and good food. Unfortunately it was raining today, but the beer and food was stellar!
I let my sweetie use my best stein - the brat was smothered in sauerkraut and caramelized onions. Sides were German potato salad and red cabbage

My sweetie was in costume - the stein I was using is to the right - extra dark and rich beer for me. Good food and good times.

Who knows, maybe, I'll be on a cane by then.
