Beer steins at Hofbrauhaus
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Beer glass in Munich

Two of these beer glasses hold a full liter (34 ounces) of brew; that's the way they drink it at Oktoberfest and the Hofbrauhaus in Munich. (Price is 8 euros this year, about $12.) The third barely holds four ounces.

Fifty-plus beers on tap at the Oktoberfest in Fremont this weekend, and all you could get was four ounces at a time. At $1.75 a "taste," which comes to about $15 a liter. On the other hand, didn't see any drunks. Biggest excitement came from the chainsaw-carving guy.
