I'll drink to that!
It would also be interesting to see when the deal comes up for renewal. Hopefully it's not a decade or more from now.
I would think that after 50 years KW Oktoberfest would be sufficiently entrenched to be able to operate without the exclusive "help" of the international beer cartel.
I'd also like to see some discussion about lessening the emphasis on beer, mass-market or craft. People are drinking less and driving even less after drinking. I think that's one reason why some of the beer halls didn't open this year. Perhaps KW-O's mandate should be broadened to include multiculturalism, arts, sports, etc. That too would broaden sponsorship opportunities and further reduce dependence on the international beer cartel.
