The inside line Curated calendar
The 191st Oktoberfest opens when the Mayor taps the first barrel in the Schottenhamel tent at noon on the first Saturday and runs to the first Sunday in October. Only the six Munich breweries may pour, the beer is served in litre steins, and you cannot be served standing — a table is the whole game. Weekday afternoons in the smaller tents are civilised; Saturday nights are not. Munich hotel rates roughly triple for the fortnight, and Oberpfaffenhofen is the field to file into rather than Franz Josef Strauss.
