Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest is a festival held each year in Germany during late September (and running through early October). It’s one of the most famous events in Germany and the world's largest fair. People tend to each huge amounts of hearty fare and then wash it down with German’s finest biers.

This year, American Flatbread in Burlington transformed their alley/patio into a full-on German-style biergarden with live music, sausages, kraut, pretzels, lederhosen, dancing and general merriment OH...and of course an incredible selection of German and German-style biers. A group of us got together to take part in this event. The highlight of the evening for me was the weisswurst and sauerkraut loaded with bacon! Wow. Heart attack. My favorite bier was the Zero Gravity Rauchbier. Delish!
