"Good" is BBQ baby back ribs.

Nah, that's not good. Good is Tafërtingen Dunkel beer, Jagermiester
schnapps, roast chicken, and bratwurst at the Augsburg October fest.
Now that's the epitome of "good." Of course a Saturday evening at the
Hofbräuhaus in Munich comes close.

Can't argue with that. Used to frequent Resi's Bier Stube on Irving
in Chicago before it got all yuppified.
Think the owner was U-boat crew.
Know he'd pour me a Jagermeister now and then to follow a beer.
Good stuff, and it fits in coffee well too.
A buddy in college always carried a flask of it.
My preference was Hacker Pschorr Weiss, and I still lean towards that.
But I never did an October fest so I'm open to more trial.
Kiel and Hamburg is the limit of my experience in Germany.
Beer was warm, but I did enjoy the food and trains.

One of the reasons I liked the Octoberfest over the other 'fests
throughout the year was that the beer would chill in the evening that
time of the year. The chilled dark beer was robust and went really
well with the brats. The schnapps ladies would make their rounds with
buckets of iced schnapps carried by straps around the neck and
shoulders. The order was usually for one shot and it was chased with
the beer. I wasn't ready for German schnapps when I first arrived in
Augsburg, and needless to say, it took me about 36 hours to recover.
