Oktoberfest in full swing in the town square yesterday, I'm not entirely sure why celebrating a Bavarian brewing festival is so popular in the UK but it seems to have become embedded in our culture too, pretty much every pub and bar seems to have something going on at this time of year. I thoroughly approve of this trend but I do wish we'd celebrate our local, homegrown brewers more, there's no real need to ship in kegs of German lager to celebrate Oktoberfest there are plenty of UK produced options which are just as good, if not better, although looking at the rate of consumption of many of the participants I'd have to conclude this celebration is perhaps more about quantity than quality..
