Yes, it's October and there's also something more jolly going on, beside Halloween. Oktober Fest, a beer soaked feast from Germany, also held in the U.S.A, and even in the Netherlands. Not this year probably, because of Covid 19, but still, it's a very regular thing.
I'm not sure about the U.S. version, or even the Dutch version, but I do know the German version attracts beautiful and impressive waitresses, dressed in 'dirndls' as these outfits are called, that can carry massive numbers of those huge pints (I hear12 is not impossible) in one go to any table, without spilling a drop. Worth a painting if I ever needed a reason.
