Now the 178th Oktoberfest is officially started. The mayor of Munich traditionally has
opened the first barrel of the 2011 Oktoberfest beer in the Schottenhamel Festzelt.
Last year 6.4 million visitors have come to the 200-years-Oktoberfest (me included).
Let’s see how many people will have their throats beered this year! Enjoy!
