We attended the Charlotte Oktoberfest at the Metrolina yesterday. The event sold out two weeks in advance. At $30/ticket I find that quite amazing. There's definitely plenty of room to expand within the Mertolina complex as the actual beer stands only used up about 2/3rds of the space.
It was an interesting event but definitely not like the Oktoberfest in Munich. Although it was a great way to try new beers. I found the Highland Brewing Company and the Spaten beers were my favorite. There were over 350 beers at the event and all were free (in shot glass amounts) after the price of admission. What's cool is that no one seemed to get too drunk or rowdy. I hate drunken tough guys.
The weather was a perfect mid-70s and it was just a great day to be outside or even inside the beer serving buildings (But thise did get a little warm with the crowds. Its a shame that there wasn't a seated area and an Ompah band like the German Oktoberfest.
All in all it was a good event (Like the Walmart of wine tastings only for beer).
