THE 76TH OKTOBERFEST AT SOFITEL PHILIPPINE PLAZA!

        It seems like only yesterday when Richie and I cheered and celebrated this famous worldwide beer festival with a big mug of...iced tea. (True story. What can we do? We're not really beer drinkers. But that doesn't mean we can't join the fun, right? Hehehe)

And just like that, it's Oktoberfest once again!


        And if you're looking to celebrate an authentic German beer festival here in the Metro, head on to Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila on October 17-18 and join the German Club Manila as they cerebrate the 76th Oktoberfest! Party with the world famous original Hofbräuhaus band from Munich! And yodel along with Lizzie, an internationally acclaimed female yodeller! (Yodelehi--hooooo!)

        On October 17-18, Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila’s Harbor Garden Tent will be transformed into a beer garden, or "Biergärten" as they call it in Germany. Set up will be these long tables and benches.

        See your friendly waiters and waitresses in dirndl and Lederhosen for that complete Oktoberfest feel.

        And of course, what is Oktoberfest without huge mugs and free flowing ice cold San Miguel beer!?!

        To accompany your ice cold beer, Sofitel Philippine Plaza's Master Chefs will be preparing an amazing Bavarian spread, which includes not just pretzels and sausages, but a whole lot of other stuff as well! 

Here's what they served during the launch... 

2 or 3 carving stations...

Meat heavy German Dishes!

and Classic desserts!

Check out this pretzel and pastry section!

I love their pretzels! Because it's drizzled in rock salt!

Check out the rock salt on these Laugen Rolls! (I love salt, obviously).

        This festival will also include exciting raffles with millions worth of prizes to be won! The ticket fee for this Oktoberfest is not just for a night of partying and merry-making. But proceeds of this festival will actually go to the German Club’s welfare/charity projects.

        Tickets start at Php3,300.00 for non members, and Php3,200.00 for members. But if you're a big group of 20-40 people, you get a discounted rate of Php3,250.00

          Irene Co aka "Indulgence by Irene" and Yen Dreyfus, aka The Tummy Traveler joined the festivities in the beer drinking contest.

           Afterwards, the crowd participated in a group dance, shaking to the tune of some traditional German drinking songs!

          It's always fun when the KTG gets together for some amazing food and Booze! 

      Thanks so much to Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila for having us for the Oktoberfest launch! We sure had fun even if Richie and I don't drink beer hehehe. Here are other photos from that fun event! Enjoy! :-)
