The Tomato Beer

It's hard to choose a good day of celebration, a day which has a history, something to celebrate. An example of what a good celebration is, it is the Oktorber Fest, one of my favorite celebrations of the year. This beer fest is celebrated the first saturday after september 15th, it lasts 16 or 18 days. The origin of this festivity is on the celebration of the marriage of the King Ludwig I with Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on Octorber 12th, 1810. In this royal event, all the citizens of Munich were invited to celebrate this event. It is celebrated on the Theresienwiese fields ("Theresa's Meadow"), named like that in honor of the Crown Princess, and has kept that name ever since. The Oktorber Fest is a Volksfest which means people's festival, this kind of festival has wine or beer everywhere and attractions like games of chance or skill, amusement rides and food and merchandise vendors. But in the Okterber Fest, the beer is the only drink you can have, and this beer is specially selected for this celebration. I like this festival a lot, because I like beer, but specially the real beer, made with love. I have never gone to the real Oktorber Fest in Germany, I only know the Chilean version, but one of my objectives is traveling to Germany and go to this huge festival.
