Oktoberfest 2014: fears of pretzel shortage as bakers threaten to strike - Telegraph

I love german pretzels. But since I'm eating low carb now, maybe this would be a good year for me to go.

Not quite Munich but was at the Oktoberfest festivities in Beaver Creek CO last weekend, no shortage of beer, pretzels, and brats. I'll be checking out Vail this coming weekend to make sure their Oktoberfest is adequately supplied.
