Beer Fest.... yahoooooo...

When I heard the MC say, Deutschland's wunderbar cover band the QueenKings were the main act at the 12th annual Bonn beer fest, I knew it was going to be a fun evening... actually they weren't bad. I think for any German rock musician, the phrase HALLO BONN is the stuff of nightmares, I think it's considered somewhat of a middle class backwater.
There was a huge crowd at the beer festival. I was wondering if there could be as many as 100,000 and I saw in the paper this week, there were 100,000. A hundred thousand people drinking beer in a small space and I didn't see any fights or loud arguments...hmmmm. This discussion comes up here sometimes... why do the English and their colonial descendents... Canadians, Americans, Aussies... start fighting when they're drinking. Argue among yourselves.
One of the dozens of little kiosks on the grounds selling beer. I usually just drink kolsch, it's light and the beer that Cologne is known for... it's not considered 'real beer' by people from other parts of Germany.


Many pigs had to die to feed the beer fest crowd.
