Oktoberfest @ Sofitel Manila Soon
Beer lovers in the Philippines have an excuse to celebrate a grand festival way in advance before Christmas – they call it the Oktoberfest! Simlar to the Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany, Filipino beer drinkers anticipate this annual nationwide ‘requirement of sorts‘ in a very festive manner.
This year, get to experience once again an authentic beer festival – Oktoberfest 2013 – this coming October 18 & 19 at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila’s newly renovated Harbor Garden Tent.
Oktoberfest 2012 stood witness to more than 3,500 guests consuming more than 28,548 liters of beer, 950 kgs of German sausages, 260 kgs of pork knuckles and 200 kgs of sauerkraut in a span of two days.
Oktoberfest 2013
In celebration of the 180th Oktoberfest worldwide (and 75th anniversary of the Oktoberfest by the German Club in the Philippines), it is expected to have a grander spread of authentic Bavarian cuisine as the Harbor Garden Tent which will be decorated in Bavarian colors of white and blue.
Moreover, music will be led by the “Bavarian Sound Express” from Munich to make every guest sing and dance all night long in an authentic setting of Oktoberfest tables and benches set up for a festive beer garden fair. ‘The Bloomfields‘ will also be rocking the house with their retro 60s music as they perform on October 19.
Know a little bit more about the Bavarian culinary spread to be prepared by Sofitel Philippine Plaza’s Executive Chef Eric Costille on NomNom Club food blog soon!
