Comments on: Authentic Beer at Crown Center’s Oktoberfest http://irishkc.com/authentic-beer-at-crown-centers-oktoberfest.htm Kansas City Irish Festivals, Music, Pubs, & Events by an Artist in Ireland Wed, 23 May 2012 02:19:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: eolai http://irishkc.com/authentic-beer-at-crown-centers-oktoberfest.htm#comment-208938 eolai Thu, 02 Oct 2008 08:48:18 +0000 http://irishkc.com/?p=3843#comment-208938 Thanks for the clarification Owen. There is of course a valid discussion to be had regarding the availability (or lack of) Irish drinks and Irish foods at events puporting to celebrate Irishness. A wording I intended in this post but then forgot was, rather than dismissing or debating your reference to authentic beers, to simply say of you that "we all know what he means". Thanks for the clarification Owen.

As for Germans at Irish Fest and vice-versa, I think these different fests have become pretty ubiquitous ethnic-wise (obviously a good thing that different ethnicities can get together to celebrate one ethnicity for a day) like at Irish Fest the woman who greeted me at the gate was black, the couple in front of me at the gate was Asian and I'm pretty sure the civil war reenactors were all different types. We're not all holding hands and singing kumbuya but we can drink heavily together and have a good time and that's gotta count for something.
