Where to celebrate Oktoberfest (part one)

Beethoven? Close, but no bratwurst. “All Quite on the Western Front”? Nope. Lederhosen? Let’s hope not.

Hands down — steins down? — Germany’s foremost contribution to world culture is Oktoberfest. It’s so popular in San Diego, we need two Brewery Rowe columns to note all the local O’fest bashes. Part Two is scheduled for Oct. 3.
