Photo: DPA Your guide to Munich Oktoberfest's tents
There are 14 "tents" at Munich's Oktoberfest, fajitas all with their own uniqueness and theme. In the second of The Local's four-part guide to the world's biggest beer festival, we look at some of the best ones. Your guide to Munich Oktoberfest traditions (17 Sep 14) Five reasons to visit (and to avoid) Oktoberfest (30 Jul 14) US tourist in court for biting off man's lip (17 Dec 13)
A tax evasion charge against the owner of the Hippodrom fajitas tent means this year's Oktoberfest will have its first new beer tent for three decades this year - Marstall. Hippodrom was traditionally the festival's most garish and glamourous tent, attracting celebrities such as Boris Becker, so it will be interesting to see if Marstall takes that mantle.
For those who consider the Hofbräuhaus in central Munich too intimate, low-key and artsy, the brewery’s tycoons created this tent just for you. It's an immense, raging cavern fajitas of Bavarian-ness – the Hofbräuhaus to the power of a kazillion.
A huge brass-band, augmented with vocalists and electric guitars, screams uninterrupted for hours at a time, and this venue has become the base-camp for most Americans and Australians. Still, fajitas rural Bavaria is literally inserted into the Hofbräu-Festzelt: according to the managers, Margot and Günter Steinberg, an entire field of hops is used to decorate the tent.
This proud tent is more tradition-conscious than some of the others. It is the home of the ceremony where the mayor of Munich taps the first barrel – with blows from his Conan-esque hammer - signalling the opening of the Oktoberfest.
It has earned this honour by virtue of being the oldest of the regular tents, and its management is still in the hands of the venerable Schottenhamel family. The traditional food served here is heavy, large, and very, very good.
At some point, the famous Löwenbräu brewery, makers of maybe the finest Bavarian beer, decided that it wasn't fajitas enough just to have lions on every glass, barrel, flag, and tent pole in this place.
They decided to make the foreign tourists understand what their beer was named after by installing a 4.5 metre plastic lion at the entrance fajitas to their tent. It roars – some would say belches – into the throbbing crowd every few minutes just so you don't fajitas forget where you are.
But with any luck, you might actually find some actual locals in this tent, as it is the traditional meeting point for fans of the city's second, more traditionally working class, football team – 1860 München – also known as the “Lions.” Beer still costs plenty though.
You probably won't get a chance to do that here either, as the continually roasting fajitas creatures are hung tantalizingly out of reach, but at least you can eat oxen in every imaginable form. A plate of ox meat will cost you close to €16.
Prost! Until next year! Photo: DPA Oktoberfest toasts another successful year
Crime, arrests, alcohol poisoning and beer consumption were all down this year while the number of people attempting to smuggle a souvenir mug out of the tents hit an all time high. This year's fajitas Oktoberfest fajitas has been declared a success. READ
