What is Oktoberfest?
Its origins go way back when, in 1810, at Munich, Germany, the people held a massive festivity for a royal wedding. The event involved beer, music, dancing, and refreshments, all of which are obligatory ingredients of a successful event. Such a tremendous success of the event made those participants at the event decide to have it annually, and now everybody enjoys it as a once-year event.
It is now the largest beer festival worldwide. The event generally occurs between late September until October, centering on the entertainment of quality beer, robust food like pretzels, sausages, pork roast, and the pleasure of spending time with friends and family.
Neither less do the Aussies! Australian capital city Brisbane, Australia's capital city, and Australia's cultural city, Brisbane, host amazing Oktoberfest events, equipped with steins, live music, and party times. And yet, even if you won't make it out for a festival, you sure can bring that ambience home with a few simple touches and a wonderful Oktoberfest beer hamper.
How to celebrate Oktoberfest at Home the right way
You don't need a great Munich beer tent , nor even a passport, to bring that vibe of Oktoberfest flair into your own home. You can also make your living room enjoyable or bring joy to your backyard. Here's how to do it:
Begin with an Oktoberfest beer hamper.
Beer is what makes Oktoberfest happen, and the best way to get the party off on the right foot is with a pre-curated hamper. Consider it as your ultimate party starter. A cool assortment or brewed beer is complemented with some delicious accompaniments that go together beautifully, such as pretzels, nuts, or other snack items.
There's no need for dashing round the shops or worrying about what you need, our hampers will take care of it, so you don't need to do anything but relax and indulge yourself.
Get the mood up with some music.
So, you know, a wonderful Oktoberfest party needs some tunes, but don't fuss if you don't manage a live oompah orchestra. Just make a snazzy playlist!
Definitely, thousands of Oktoberfest or Bavarian bashes playlists can be found online, rich in colorful music, folk, and upbeat beats. If that’s not your vibe of course you can have some hip hop, jazz or anything which inspires your raise-your-beer-high type of bashes! The idea is to set the festive and celebration vibe.
Add a Choice of Adornments
You don't have to do too much; just a few nice details can make your space feel like Bavaria. Think about getting some white and blue streamers, and putting a tablecloth on your table. Maybe toss in some fairy lights or some rustic wooden serving boards for that little extra vibe.
Get out the beer steins if you have them for a real Oktoberfest experience. The little touches make it fun and your guests will appreciate the extra effort!
Gather a Few Buddies
It is simply a good time with wonderful people. Round up your family, next door, or your closest friends and unwind for a laid-back afternoon at home.
Get the place sorted out, have a few beers, and enjoy a good laugh amongst yourselves. Not needing anything flashy; the best memories almost always occur at ordinary times and just being amongst each other.
Don't skip out on the grub
Beer and food go extremely well with Oktoberfest! Classic German goodies such as pretzels, sausages, and cheese platters are a no-fail, but you might want to shake things up a little with some local Australian favourites just imagine,nuts, crackers, chocolates or such fantastic Aussie-style snacks for grazing!. You've got some wonderful treats in your Oktoberfest Beer Hamper. If you want it to be really personal, go for it, and you are good to go!
Learn Key Terms and Say "Prost!"
"Prost!" is "cheers" in German, and no Oktoberfest is quite complete until it's uttered. As your glass is raised and your eyes lock your celebrants, saying a loud "Prost!" before a sip becomes a celebratory cheer before actually starting the celebrations.
With a nicely stocked hamper, appealing cohorts, delicious bites, and some choice music, a real Oktoberfest atmosphere can be made without having to vacate your grounds. It saves your pockets, easy to set up, and sure to leave a smile on your face.
