Oktoberfest - Torrington (2021)
Note, was written in August 2024 to recreate a post which was lost, and we want to reference it in our upcoming celebratory post in September of 2024. Although our Oktoberfest experiences only go back a few years, so much of the true experience is still going to be lost. Old computer(s), Google Drive, Facebook, etc. were all searched for context, but not much was able to be recovered. We will try to add some details, but as our memories have faded, this may well be all that we have left of that moment in time.

“Beer was provided by Bad Dog Brewing Company, Torrington; Brewery Legitimus. New Hartford; and Great Falls Brewing Company, North Canaan. The group also provided German-style food such as bratwurst, foot-long hotdogs and Bavarian pretzels.”
Bonus content: The song, Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit, preformed by Dennis Polisky and the Maestro’s Men is a sing-along for context…
“Ein Prosit, ein Prosit; Der Gemütlichkeit; Ein Prosit, ein Prosit; Der Gemütlichkeit; Oans, zwoa, drei, gsuffa!”
“Tradition. I missed the first few times they did this, so, I was pleased to film this one.”
The party never really ends, it a weeks-long event, but the lederhosen have to come off at some point… it’s football season too!
