Oktoberfest, the world’s largest beer festival, is held annually in Munich, Germany. The festival runs over several days and involves large volumes of beer, dressing-up and rousing brass-band music, including a song – Ein Prosit – whose purpose is to encourage more beer consumption. It is no surprise that mass singalongs are also an Oktoberfest tradition.
The Bavarian tradition continues to spread around the world and Alibi Brewer’s Lounge are hosting their first-ever O’Fest event this Saturday 5 October, the inaugural event in what is planned to be an annual knees-up.
