今天下班后去买啤酒，才知道宾州州法规定，每人每次只能买2package beer，可能以前没有买过这么多，感觉波士顿和底特律没有这种限制啊！真的很奇怪！

因为同事想喝Octoberfest，特意买了两种这个酒。因为不了解这是啥品种，所以学习了一下。

"Octoberfest"（也称为"Oktoberfest"，意为十月节日）是一个源自德国的传统啤酒节。它通常在每年的九月底至十月初举行，为期16至18天，是世界上最大的啤酒节之一。这个节日起初是为了庆祝巴伐利亚王国国王路德维希一世于1810年10月12日的婚礼而举办的，后来演变成了一个庆祝德国文化、食物和啤酒的盛大活动。

在Octoberfest啤酒节上，大型啤酒帐篷会在慕尼黑的特伦滕河边搭建起来，吸引着数以百万计的游客。人们在这些帐篷里享受传统的德国食物，如香肠、猪脚、炸鸡和巨大的软饮面包，同时品尝各种德国啤酒，特别是风格为马尔茨（Maerzen）或比萨（Pilsner）的啤酒。

Octoberfest还包括传统的巡游、音乐表演、竞技游戏和娱乐活动。许多参与者穿着传统的巴伐利亚服装，如皮裤（Lederhosen）和连衣裙（Dirndl），为节日增添了德国文化的氛围。

虽然Octoberfest起源于德国，但现在它已经成为了国际性的庆祝活动，吸引了来自世界各地的游客前来体验德国文化和美食，以及尝试各种啤酒。因此，即使你不在德国，也可能有机会参加类似的啤酒节或Oktoberfest庆祝活动，特别是在一些国际城市或德国餐馆和啤酒馆。

"Oktoberfest" (sometimes spelled "Octoberfest") is a traditional beer festival that originated in Germany. It typically takes place from late September to early October and lasts for 16 to 18 days, making it one of the world's largest beer festivals. The festival initially began as a celebration of the wedding of King Ludwig I of Bavaria on October 12, 1810, and it has since evolved into a grand celebration of German culture, food, and beer.

During the Oktoberfest, large beer tents are set up along the banks of the Theresienwiese in Munich, Germany, attracting millions of visitors. People inside these tents enjoy traditional German foods such as sausages, pork knuckles, fried chicken, and giant soft pretzels while sampling various types of German beer, particularly styles like Märzen or Pilsner.

Oktoberfest also includes traditional parades, musical performances, athletic games, and entertainment activities. Many participants dress in traditional Bavarian clothing like lederhosen (for men) and dirndls (for women), adding to the festive atmosphere and showcasing German culture.

While Oktoberfest has its origins in Germany, it has become an international celebration, attracting visitors from around the world who come to experience German culture and cuisine and to sample various types of beer. So, even if you're not in Germany, you might have the opportunity to attend similar beer festivals or Oktoberfest celebrations, especially in some international cities or German restaurants and beer halls.
