For us Oregonians, experiencing some of that Bavarian-Swiss-German spirit lives just southeast of Portland in Mt Angel. Accordions, fondue, and a menagerie of all things Alps-adjacent are yours for the taking as a part of the annual and world-class Mt Angel Oktoberfest in mid-September. If you can’t wait that long, grab a little of your entertainment budget and a friend to take a spin with Bier Haus at a pub or tavern in your neighborhood. It’ll feel and sound like you’re in an Alpine village pub as you look to spin into matching symbols and that coveted wild that shows up as three mugs of a frosty libation. Lederhosen is optional, but don’t forget to say “prost!” to your friends when you cash out and walk away at the end of your session.
