What would you do? What changes are necessary to make Oktoberfest great again? What part of Oktoberfest would you keep? Why?
That’s easy, and I don’t even enjoy the taste of beer (any kind of beer, as far as I can tell): get rid of the bogus exclusive deal with the big name dishwater manufacturer and let a thousand craft beers bloom on the tongues of the participants.
I don’t even care if that makes the festival grow or shrink: I just know that there is nothing special about selling beer made in vats bigger than my house by an international conglomerate. By contrast, having people come to Kitchener to sample a huge variety of beers (even including the commercial stuff, but not limited to it) is something different that doesn’t happen in every city and I can appreciate that even though I don’t personally have any interest in partaking.
