Oktoberfest Dublin


I'm not a beer lover, I can't stand crowds and find the idea of Dublin adopting German traditions a bit confusing. Still, out of curiosity and peer pressure, I've skipped a few Culture Night-related events (much to my regret) and found myself surrounded by pretzels, Haribo stalls, overpriced pints and tacky Bavarian clichés - Dublin Docklands never looked so festive. You know me, I couldn't say no to good old bratwurst and tempting käsekrainer - I'm a sucker for sausages even though these two were quite underwhelming. It reminded me of that time in Manchester when I had a Cumberland sausage that tasted like Fairy. How didn't I see the rip off coming? This very Dubliner Oktoberfest did not impress me: even live music was shit but I've made an effort to stay and entertain myself since my friends seemed to be having a great time. It was fun but I wouldn't return. A bit like a one night stand, really.

  1. Não parece ter sido de todo incrível mas, como a entusiasta de cerveja que sou, acho que iria gostar bem mais do que tu. E nada que uns copinhos não resolvam (ugh, drunkie).

  2. pois... a Alemanha em Dublin soa-me mesmo muito mal, e salsichas dessas não são nada a minha onda...

  9. It's too bad Oktoberfest wasn't as great as you expected - I can't imagine it being better than the ones in Germany! It does look like a somewhat fun time though!
