    Does Denver need another Oktoberfest? Denver Wiesn is betting it does. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Chadwick Williams fears that some folks have Oktoberfest all wrong. “A lot of people think it’s just a beer-drinking festival, and it’s not,” said Williams, the German Honorary Consul for Colorado and Wyoming, and a fourth-generation Coloradan. “It’s actually about building relationships.” In the U.S., business people make high-level deals on golf courses, he said. In Munich, home of the original, 215-year-old Oktoberfest, they’re posting up in VIP sections to broker multi-million-dollar arrange
