Oktoberfest Adventures: Cincinnati vs. Texas (and Wiener Dog Races!)

Crack open a cold one (or a Dr. Pepper Zero) and join the Curious Caravan crew as we dive into Oktoberfest season with not one, but two Jasons. We’re swapping stories from two wildly different fests: the massive Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, the largest in the U.S., and Addison’s Texas-style twist, complete with bratwursts, polka beats, and yes, dachshund races that deserve their own reality show. From authentic Bavarian brews and Black Forest cake to golden Amazon lederhosen and 80s hair band cover sets, this episode serves up quirky traditions, unexpected history, and plenty of laughs. Plus, we dish out pro tips for Oktoberfest newbies (spoiler: go early, pace your schnitzel, and always cheer for the senior dachshund). Whether you’re a beer-lover, dog fan, or just curious about how America celebrates Oktoberfest this one’s for you.
