Every year, Munich, Germany hosts one of the world’s most recognised festivals—Oktoberfest. The 191-year-old festival is known for general merrymaking and revelry; the focal point and reason for its popularity are the beers. Oktoberfest in Munich can only serve locally brewed beers, and the beer brewed specifically for the festival is called Marzen.
Beers are a common thread even in India, especially with the craft beer boom, a reason why local Oktoberfest celebrations and promotions have gained momentum. Here are seven Oktoberfest celebrations to check out in Mumbai:
