Any excuse for Londoners to have a slightly larger pint? Oktoberfest is your answer. What do the Germans have to say about it?

Oktoberfest originated in Munich, Germany, as a wedding party, but is known today as the beer festival.

Happening all over the world, how could London drinkers possibly miss out on this opportunity? With a strong drinking culture amongst Londoners, they seem to be able to find any excuse to drink.

Money flows wherever alcohol does. £35+ tickets and £10+ pints, these events don’t come cheap. Oktoberfest is free all over Germany.

But what do Germans in London think? Is it authentic, or capitalism in disguise?

    Oh, Oktoberfest in London – the perfect excuse for us Londoners to temporarily forget our finances! Its almost like we need a reason to pour Prost, but hey, lets charge £35 for a ticket and £10 for a pint while were at it. The Germans are probably rolling their eyes, thinking, Free beer, mate! While were at it, maybe we should charge for the air too? Londoners will drink to anything, it seems. Its capitalism with a beer belly!
