Q2: Did you know more than 7.7 million liters of beer are served over the 17-day period in Munich? Who’s got their beer goggles on?

Q4: Food at #Oktoberfest is a big deal. Do you indulge in traditional sausages and kraut or do you look for more refined fare?
A4: My dad’s grandparents came from Hanover so I actually grew up with my grandmother making kraut. I hated it as kid. Like now. #jsett

A4.) They serve chicken dinners in the Munich bierlalls. If you reserve a seat, you have to get the chicken dinner. #JSETT
