With three stokes of his wooden mallet, the Mayor of Munich tapped a 224-Liter beer barrel today – the first of many beer barrels to be drained at this year’s Oktoberfest in Munich. He poured the first Mass for the Ministerpräsident (governor) of Bavaria.

Organizers expect to sell 6 Million Mass (Liters) at €7.90, as well as half a million grilled chicken and the meat of 90 oxen.
