1977 in Munich, spent a week there on a three day pass. It cost me a stripe, but it was WELL worth it.
Sorry if this really wasn't too helpful. lolCooler weather and changing leaf colors are making me wanna go do something German-esque this weekend - drink good beer at a Fest Hall somewhere.
I've been to the Helen, GA, tourist trap more times than I care to remember - so I'm looking for alternatives.
I've heard Asheville, NC, is great for beer in general - but does anyone have any other OktoberFest recommendations?
Thanks in advance,

'm envisioning TL in a traditional Munich beer maid dress.
Electr0n: "Wow Koshie, check out the jugs TL's carrying."
Me: "yeah, and all those beer steins she's holding are huge too!. Do you think she brought any for us?"
Thanks for the lovely image, TL.

You are such a fucking whore!
It may be a bit more intimate than a big box biergarten, but it's much closer (Duluth) than the other places you mentioned. Plus, during Oktoberfest, the prices are actually lower than usual.
