5th Annual WOBtoberfest Headliner: German-Brewed Warsteiner

Each week "Cheers, Westchase!" helps you kick off your weekend, highlighting either a beer, cocktail or wine you can find right here in the neighborhood.

Oktoberfest is one of the most famous German events and is the world's largest fair, with more than 6 million people from around the world attending  annually. 

Held in Munich, it's a 16-day festival of Bavarian culture celebrating one primary beverage: beer.  Sounds like a good time, doesn't it?

Lucky for us, we can get a taste of the fun as we have our own local version. WOBtoberfest happens at World of Beer Westchase Oct. 19-21.
