Bavaria may be on the other side of the planet, but that sure won’t stop the City of Angeles from joining in its annual festivities, even if it’s really just another excuse for Angelenos to get loaded on Märzens, Festbiers, and Lagers. If you’re looking for some Oktoberfest events in Los Angeles, look no further.

Grilled cheese sandwiches perfectly pair with beer, so why not elevate that pairing with an evening at Andrew's Cheese Shop with their Oktoberfest Grilled Cheese & Beer Night?
