You are invited to enjoy the "Freibier", the beer on the house, until that ceremonial keg is empty.If you don’t have plans to fly to Germany, you can come to the Bavarian Grill and enjoy good German food, several German Oktoberfest Biers and some of the same happy German music you would hear in tents at the site of the Munich celebration.

Your hint:
You will find the most impressive iron-cast statue of Bavaria's patron saint on the border of the Theresienwiese where the annual world-famous Oktoberfest take place each year in September. As a matter of fact, the statue represents a Germanic amazon, an allegoric impersonation of Bavaria's (the country's) power and strength.

The Wies'n
 
• Oktoberfest takes place on the original Theresienwiese ("Theresa's green"), where the first horse race to celebrate the royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria with Princess Therese of Saxon-Hildburghausen
• Locals simply call Oktoberfest the "Wiesn" (the meadow)
• The Wiesn is the length of 5 American football fields
• While Oktoberfest no longer includes horse races, it does include an agricultural fair every four years

Oktoberfest in September?
 
• Oktoberfest used to begin in October but in 1880, it was changed to begin in September to take advantage of better weather.
• Traditionally, Oktoberfest begins on the second to last Friday in September and ends the first Sunday in October - that’s a total of 16 days of celebration.

The Beer
 
• In March, Löwenbräu begins brewing a special Oktoberfest beer, called "Wiesenbier" (meadow beer), a fresh, light amber lager brewed in the best Bavarian brewing tradition.
• Only six Munich breweries are allowed to serve beer at Oktoberfest – Löwenbräu, Spaten, Augustiner, Hofbräu, Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr.
• Legend has it that one waitress once carried 21 one-liter beer mugs, also known as "Masskrüge".

The Tents
 
• The six large breweries start building enormous tents months in advance.
• Löwenbräu has two tents - the larger seats 8,500 people and features a 15-foot-high lion who drinks and roars every 60 seconds.
• The smaller tent seats 4,400 people and specializes in suckling pig in malt bier sauce with "Krautsalat".
• The Löwenbräu tents cost approximately $1.8 million to assemble and take down each year.
