Celebrate Oktoberfest in...Prague!

ATLANTA (August 27, 2009) - It's that time of year again when many local breweries, gastro-pubs and bars are planning their own fall beer festivals to recreate, in their own backyard, the magnificent annual Oktoberfest celebrations taking place in Europe. However, after enjoying the local beer festivals, many beer connoisseurs dream of actually traveling to Europe to discover the roots of this glorious beverage and visit the places where some of the best beer in the world was first brewed - and where it is still being made according to centuries-old traditions and recipes.

Na Zdravi! (Cheers!)
