Oktoberfest in SA

Well we couldn't make it to another Oktoberfest with the Germans in Germany like my niece did this year.
















And we were traveling and therefore missed the purported best Oktoberfest celebration in Gauteng at the Deutsche Schule Pretoria. (Next year!)









So we settled for the next best thing ... Oktoberfest at the Brauhaus am Damm in the Magaliesberg mountains near Rustenburg.

It had all the elements ...

... an alpine setting,

... special Oktoberfest Bock.













a bock for Vince

brewed in their very own micro-brewery

a blond for me
Eisbein for Vince and a pretzel for me

an oompah band

gingerbread

and rugby! This is South Africa after all
