LA Oktoberfest

Don your lederhosen for LA's most boisterous beer festival, complete with traditional food, Bavarian brews, live music (drinking songs all day!) and buxom beer maids. There will be wandering accordion players and a stein-holding contest in which contestants hold a giant glass of beer in front of them for as long as their arms will allow—or until they break down and drink the damn thing. There will also be wine tastings, but we're pretty sure you'll get shunned (if not doused with warm beer) if you eschew the brew completely.
