BOTTOMS UP Oktoberfest? More like OktoBEERfest

Roman Contreras SENIOR STAFF WRITER

October is not just for spooky scares anymore. Oktoberfest was held from Sept. 21 to Oct. 6. Upon its conception, Oktoberfest was a celebration of marriage between a crown prince and a princess in 1810. The ceremony ended with a horse race, and for years to follow, the Germans continued the celebration – without the races – starting in 1960. Today, Oktoberfest has become a celebration of food, fashion and culture. For my friends and I, the celebration took place at Clandestine Brewing. The brewery is located in an industrial area, which makes it a little hard to spot, with a mural covering the outside brick wall. The art depicts a woman in a field of wheat observing what seems to be a beer sample in a test tube. Turning the corner, you approach a door with an outside seating area to the left, laced with lights overhead.
