With the declaration by Munich's mayor, "O'zapft is" (It's tapped!), the world's largest fair began about half an hour ago. Oktoberfest, known to the locals as Die Wiesn, will see about seven million visitors and over seven million liters of beer sold before it's over in two weeks.
I'm headed there Tuesday and will share more facts and pictures later next week, but until then, a little fun:
Can you name the three types of beer pictured below? I love how Germans have a glass for every beer and a beer for every glass.
Germany 101: Weiss, Helles, and the third? Prost!
Hefeweissen, Radler o. Helles, und Pilsen. Prost! Have fun at Oktoberfest!
Looks to me like an ale, a lager, and a pilsner. But what do I know?
Ahhhh, Julie pretty much got it–
In order, Weißbier, Helles and a Pils.
I can’t believe I can tell the difference :).
Weis is my favorite…
