10 Oktoberfest Recipes to Wash Down with Beer

Starting tomorrow, the world will get a little bit crazier: It's the beginning of Oktoberfest, that three-week-long celebration of, well, beer!

Though you may not be in a raucous tent, German songs ringing in your ears, you can still pour yourself a pint and celebrate. We're revisiting this collection of recipes to get you in the spirit—lederhosen optional.
