Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The north Alabama town of Cullman marked Oktoberfest for decades with music, lederhosen and bratwurst, but no beer. Now the party long billed as the world's only dry Oktoberfest has finally going wet, allowing suds for the first time in 2011.
Cullman residents don't wear lederhosen regularly (thank goodness!), but the city has deep German roots. Located halfway between Birmingham and Huntsville, it is eclectic. You might think eclectic is a euphemism for weird, but this time it means a strange mix of businesses, religious shrines, parks, and restaurants with names like Grumpy's Italian Grill and Busy Bee Cafe. Not sure what the name Rumors Deli implies about the city, but the guys in lederhosen eating bratwurst can worry about that. The reason the town celebrates Oktoberfest annually is due to the fact it was founded by a Bavarian native in 1873 for German immigrants. View Cullman City Guide
