Raise a glass to Oktoberfest, a lively fall tradition that focuses on German beer, food, music and culture. Many folks in Alabama will celebrate by heading to Cullman for the city’s annual extravaganza, scheduled Sept. 28-30. But did you know Birmingham has several Oktoberfest events of its own? They offer seasonal brews, savory bratwurst, stein hoisting — yes, it’s a thing — and more.
