Oktoberfest will open after the ceremonial keg-tapping by Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter when he inserts the tap into the first keg at noon on Saturday.

The festival takes place in Munich every year, at Theresienwiese, a 100-acre fairground space in the city’s Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district, near the Old Town. Believe it or not, Oktoberfest isn’t actually considered a beer festival in Germany – instead, it’s a folksy celebration popular among families as well as those after a stein or two.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down Shohei Ohtani’s historic night that saw him establish the 50-50 club, look at some compelling upcoming series and give their picks for The Good, The Bad and The Uggla for the week.
