    Holy funk! This is a really, REALLY well made video! I dont have much interest in alcohol, so the topic didnt speak to me. But: it's a german tradition, plus entertaining and professionally made! How could you have less than 1k!?
    I hope ill see your channel grow, you deserve it, mate! Definitely got a new sub! =)

      Wow. Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment. Your the second person that's made such a comment that doesn't drink. Happy you found it enjoyable and entertaining just as much. The beer gardens are for everyone as you say. Thanks for the encouragement boost! More to come. Cheers!

    Salvator! My favorite beer! I'm sure it's better in Munich than in a bottle in New Jersey.

      You're on to a winner there for sure. To me literally standing on the hallowed ground where it all started and walking in the footsteps of the founders is truly something else. Getting the beer right from the wooden barrel and not a bottle is heavenly. Cheers and thanks for watching! 🍻

      @@user-ne9kb8lq4z then I have another option for you. Check out the Frühlingsfest (Spring Festival) that runs until the 5th May. It's held on the legendary grounds of the Oktoberfest and is a small sample of the big event. The Hippodrom is the tent to try as well as the Weissbier carousels. 😎

      Ooooh. I have not heard about this one. I will have to investigate. The Spring Festival in Muncih has just started, so I will be sharing that with you all shortly. Cheers and thanks for watching!

    I recently audited your CZcams channel and noticed a few on-page SEO issues that might be hindering your growth:
    1. Video overviews are not fully optimized.
    2. Titles and descriptions lack SEO optimization.
    3. Missing high-volume ranked tags.
    Despite your great video quality, these factors are impacting your views and subscriber count.

    Higher alcohol percentage = more calories for fasting periods (and also more fun down the monastery) 😁

      LOL. You betcha! Time to become a Monk I say.
