12 Oktoberfest Instagram Accounts You Need to Follow
1. Oktoberfest
First things first: you’d better follow the official Oktoberfest Instagram account. Not only do they share photos from fellow thirsty travelers, but you get to see the world’s largest Volksfest (beer festival and travelling funfair) being constructed from the ground up. Prost!
2. Paulaner
Remember how we told you that only beer produced by the six main Munich breweries can be sold at Oktoberfest? Start following the Paulaner Instagram so you can familiarize yourself with all of their beer. Begin with one of our favorites — Paulaner — which has been brewed since 1634. Though it’s the youngest of all of the Munich breweries, it’s still a respectable 384 years old.
