Oktoberfest is back. This year the Oktoberfest will held from 17 September till 3 October 2011. The first Oktoberfest was held way back 200 years ago on 18 October 2020 to celebrate the commemoration of their marriage, Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

How about Malaysia, why we celebrate Oktoberfest?
Simple, because it just fun. Everyone want to have a good time enjoying with friends and family.

Plus this year I believe Oktoberfest will be bigger then ever. I believe 2 big breweries will come together capitalise on this special drinking month. Although we celebrate a bit from Germany, trust me it will be lot’s of fun. So Malaysian out there, be prepare to have great great Ofest party all month long!

Paulaner
This is a German beer or to be exact a bavarian beer. A brand that closely link to Oktoberfest. It started quite well known in most German restaurant and later to some bistro in Malaysia. Although they may have many different varieties of beer choices, but the favourite among all is the Paulaner Weiss Bier Naturtrüb! Prost!

(Straits Time Online) BERLIN – GERMANS may be famous for their beer, but domestic sales of the amber nectar slumped last year to their lowest level since 1989, according to official statistics published on Thursday.

Sales of German beer, which include the world-famous Becks, Warsteiner and Bitburger, dropped to just under 100 hectolitres (2.2 billion gallons) in 2009, a fall of 2.8 per cent on the previous year.

Germans have quaffed less beer every year since 2006, when the football World Cup, held in Germany that year, boosted consumption.

The statistics office gave no reason for the fall in sales but earlier in the year blamed poor weather, higher prices and a smoking ban in pubs and restaurants.

This is still one big event that I wish I able to attend. So if anyone are in Germany during this period of time, please do drop by the world famous beer festival. Cheers!
