I was going to go and get lunch whilst passing the octoberfest today but can anyone explain what you get for your $25 entry fee? Do you get any beer or food included? If not that’s a gross ripoff of the highest order making it the highest cover charge in canberra, you would hope the beer is cheap once you pay the entry…….

Why was it done in November? Or am I too weekendcentric?

The election – that’s where the AEC’s tally room was.

In four years time can we please have an Octoberfest Party…?

The tally room was at CIT Reid.
Must admit to doing a “what the…” every time I saw the sign out front of EPIC saying it was in November…

OK. The election wasn’t every weekend on October though was it? Although it did sem like it…..

There was the leisure show as well. Also I believe, traditionally, Oktoberfest is held for the entire last week of October. Beginning on the Monday after the last Sunday. So It always would run into always November anyway!

Actually in Munich, Octoberfest starts in September most years. The reason they hold it late in Canberra I believe is due to importing this seasons Oktoberfest brew……

Apart from the odd amber liquid, this looks like it could have been taken at the local primary school.
No expense spared by the decorators at Oktoberfest then?

What? you want Jason Recliners & Westminster carpet to vomit on after consuming 20 steins of putrid German beer, kransky & sauerkraut?
