Prost!
If you order three beers this Oktoberfest, make sure you’re using your fingers in the German three! You never know, it’s good luck and can save a life.
Grab your friends, put on your Dirndl and Lederhose, then ride-share to an Oktoberfest near you! Or even make a trip to the mountains for it! The best thing about this season is the beer – and the worst thing might be the hangover, so plan now. There are different kinds of celebrations, so which one is right for you? Some have events, games, and music. But they all have beers to keep the party going — so cheers to friends, good luck, and the Oktoberfest season.
Where to Raise Your Glass
Whether you’re in Orange County, Los Angeles, in between, or even want to go away for the weekend – there’s someone for you to have a pint! In the Bavarian spirit, everyone welcomes you to grab a glass and celebrate the 1800’s Munich tradition.
