The Great Beer Party in Germany

[lheene]

Who doesn’t love a fresh, cold bottle of beer? Since its debut, every man in the world, and even some women, can’t seem to live life without their intoxicating buddy. They really don’t seem to mind so long as they enjoy the bitter treat of this beverage. The average Germans are seen as somewhat rigid and stern, but one thing we have in common is that they are also fond of beer more than we can imagine, so to raise up their mugs and celebrate their favorite drink, Germans soon invented the Oktoberfest as a Munich Beer Festival.

It all started in 1810 when a ceremonious wedding was celebrated with culinary spectacles and racing horses. After the festivity, the people seemed to be delighted more with an exquisite culinary piece, also known as beer. The festivity soon paved the way for an annual event, which gained popularity around the world. Although the actual drinking spree is known as the Oktoberfest, it happens during the month of September. What can I say but the festival is one hell of a beer party with roller coaster rides, amusements, circus performances, live bands, and parades! No wonder there seems to be a growing number of participants every year for 16 straight days of fun and excitement. With the superb varieties of beer in town, you get to taste the best adventure in Germany.

It's cool. I went to Oktoberfest in 1982. I was in high school, so my parents only let me have one 1 liter mug. I remember the rides more than anything else. It's like a big county fair with beer tents instead of 4H displays. Fun time, but too crowded, even then.

A long time ago, way back in history,
when all there was to drink was nothin but cups of tea.
Along came a man by the name of Charlie Mops,
and he invented a wonderful drink and he made it out of hops.

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Curtis bar, the James' Pub, the Hole in the Wall as well
one thing you can be sure of, its Charlie's beer they sell
so all ye lads a lasses at eleven O'clock ye stop
for five short seconds, remember Charlie Mops 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5

He must have been an admiral a sultan or a king,
and to his praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us he's filled us up with cheer!
Lord bless Charlie Mops, the man who invented beer beer beer
tiddly beer beer beer.

The Lord bless Charlie Mops!
