One added advantage, however, of living in the Great White North is that when the occasion comes for us to visit our Oregonian brethren, our dollar buys more of that good Paulaner brew than does the local Bush-devalued variety. Coo-roo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo!

Mt. Angel plays host to an Annual Octoberfest that draws in huge crowds (not 600,000 people, but...). Authentic Bavarian food and beer (Spaten and Paulaner on tap) are served and kitzich German "oompapa" music can be heard from the Festhalle(s). Mt. Angel is itself modeled after a Bavarian Alpen village (a la Americano), although I doubt a Bavarian would find the decor pleasing to the eye. If you can't get to Munich, then the Mt. Angel one is a great alternative. Unlike Vancouver B.C,. we can sell real beer in Oregon, ie: Paulaner,Spaten etc... PROST!
