Paulaner 1 Liter “Oktoberfest to Go” Can

Posted on September 3, 2011 in ClickToShop 1 Comment

The staff tends to start frequenting local stores like France 44 and Surdyk’s this time of year in search of the Oktoberfest brews. Now that September is here, most breweries have released our favorite seasonal. Our favorite (in terms of presentation) this year is from Paulaner. Whoever thought of the new 1 liter can should be thanked!

Paulaner 1 Liter Can Oktoberfest

The Paulaner 1 liter can was as delicious as it looks

The photo does not do justice to the size of the can. It fits perfectly into a Paulaner 1 liter dimpled Isar stein and is sold as a kit at select stores (more on the can, stein combo to come).

Get your liver ready for the trip to Munich this year for Oktoberfest 2011 and pick up the Paulaner can at your local store.

Octoberfest or Oktoberfest, which is the correct spelling?

Posted on July 28, 2011 in ClickToShop 1 Comment

In North America, the autumn festival best known for the consumption of beer has often been spelled as Octoberfest, after the English spelling of the month October. However, the spelling of Octoberfest as it relates to the German festival is incorrect.

When referencing the festival, be it the official celebration in Munich, Bavaria, Germany or the hundreds of smaller celebrations across the world, the correct spelling is Oktoberfest – “Oh Kay” not “Oh See”. OK, get it?

In the German language, the correct spelling for the “ach” sound is “Ok” instead of the English spelling of “Oc”. So the next time you see Oktoberfest spelled as Octoberfest, you can politely educate people on the correct spelling of the Oktoberfest festival.
