The Mix: Songs For Oktoberfest
Originally published on Wed October 17, 2012 10:01 am
Germany's Oktoberfest — that annual celebration of all things lager — kicked off on Sept. 22 in Munich, the festival's birthplace. In honor of the 200-year tradition, NPR Music and opbmusic.org in Portland (America's microbrew capital) team up to present a limited-time music channel devoted entirely to songs about beer.
You'll hear a bunch of old English pub songs, some classic country tunes, a six-pack or so of metal (selected by NPR Music's resident viking, Lars Gotrich) and a hodgepodge of other styles.
So if you're of legal age, raise a glass, say "Prost!" and enjoy these songs of Oktoberfest.
Please share with us your favorite beer songs in the comments, and we'll add them to this mix.
