#1 I guess there just aren't enough really talented folks to go around...

#2 Oh dear. Twelve demands for a top-up coming up... (Looking cute doesn't give you a licence to peddle short measures.)

#3 Unless she is top-less? ;-)

#4 I would hope that her customers would prefer good beer to good head. I know on the continent they like a lot of froth, but - that much? Let's hope for her sake that it's not a British stag party she's serving.

#5 Just think of her, um, grip...

#6 Bulldog, see the indents, where they end? There is a line right above them. That line designates a 1l of liquid. When the froth settles down in few minutes, the liquid should reach the line, while there still will be some froth (about 1 cm) above.

She could have take a minute to let that settle a tad, but there are probably thirsty customers. There are 2 glasses that I see that will make it so-so, though.

#7 Bah. What use is a waterfight vessel not filled to the brim with beer? It's a travesty.

#8 Well, my opinion too. Waitaminit... Are you talking a nicely cold beer, between 8-12 deg C?

I've heard there are some barbaric people that use some sort of heating device to make a beer into a piss!

#11 My advice if any rantburgers go to Oktoberfest:
(1) Order two mugs at a time. The beer ladies can be busy.
(2) Visit the Hauffbrau House tent.
(3) Avoid the rides, you will only get sick.

#12 Go during the week, it's less crowded. And, at all cost, don't take the last train out of Munich on the last night of Oktoberfest, I've done it twice.
Imagine a refugee train pulling out just ahead of a invading army. Packed floor to ceiling, including the fold-down seats in the corridors, with people who have been drinking beer and eating sausages for days. You can see the smell vapors in the air. MOP Level III conditions.
Throw in the fact that this is the night the Germans set their clocks back one hour. So as to not throw off the train schedules, they just stop the train and sit for that hour. I still have nightmares.

#16 I've heard there are some barbaric people that use some sort of heating device to make a beer into a piss!

Oh come on, Sobiesky! British bitter is usually good enough to drink at slightly less than room temperature (draught beer is most often stored underground in pubs), Lager, which tastes like pish at rt, is always cooled. Guinness and some other beers you can often buy at cellar temp, or cooled. I've endured room temperature beer before, and often that's the stuff that's gone off (because the landlord doesn't know how to store his beer and/or doesn't care - we've got a Canadian landlord down the road whose commiting such a crime at the moment), which isn't a pleasant experience, but I've never had or seen warmed beer. Eugh!

.com - superb!

#19 Steve - you make me grateful I was with my parents and a rental car the day/night we went to Oktoberfest.

(To be honest, I wouldn't have gone at all, as I don't drink beer and don't like Munich, but my parents were over visiting and that's one of the touristy things they wanted to do.)

But I fondly remember the lion above the tent, nodding his head and rubbing his stomach and growling "Löwenbräu"! :-D
