Happy Brewsday!
🇩🇪🍻Oktoberfest!🍻🇩🇪 (2 of 4)
Part Zwei: The Ludzter Knows How to Party!
The first “Oktoberfest” well…..wasn’t! It was a celebration of the marriage of Bavaria’s Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810.
All of Munich was invited to a celebration that lasted til the 17th, when a horse race 🏇🏇🏾🏇 capped off the event!
The Ludzter became a footnote in history, but that horse race!! ❤️🏇🏇🏾❤️
THAT became an annual event, 🎉 raced every year on Theresienwiese—“Therese’s Meadow”, the name it holds to this day! And that annual event, at that very spot, changed beer history!
Next week Part Drei: Is Märzen a Festbier, or Is Neither Both? 😵💫
