Monk's recent beer dinner, the Oktoberfest feast. Apologies in advance again here for dropping the ball on pictures.

Question of the Night: Is Oktoberfest sexy enough in the Monk's arena to get people to come out for a full dinner themed around the subject? Or are they just parcelling out their Monk's allowance for the
Van Steenberge dinner in less than two weeks?
