How to Enjoy Oktoberfest-Inspired Dates All Year Round

Thanks to ancient people called the Sumerians who lived around 8,000 BC, we all now can enjoy beer. And why wouldn’t we? There’s light beer that has a crisp and refreshing taste, and can have additional flavors, depending on the brewer’s imagination and technologies/components used. Dark beer reminds you of bread after the first sip; it also has a rich caramel and roasted malt taste. 

Now imagine combining two favorite things in life: beer and entertainment. That’s what you often get at Oktoberfest. However, you can bring this experience up a notch and add a bit of flirting. This article is for fans of beer and romantic relationships. We’ll explore how to find a date for a night out at a beer tasting location for an experience similar to Oktoberfest.

Ways to Find a Partner

The best way to find hookups nearby and organize an Oktoberfest-themed date is to use dating apps or websites. However, there are other ways to find like-minded people who share the same hobbies and love for beer. 

Online Dating Apps or Websites

The simplest and most precise method to find the right partner is to use a dating app. However, you must decide for yourself what type of relationships you prefer: long-term or casual hookups.

Once you decide what type of relationships you’re into, here’s a list of what to do to attract the right attention via the dating app/site:

1. Take a proper photo for the main image of your profile. Most apps and dating websites have one main profile photo and an album with other images you may add (if you want to). It’s a profile photo, so it must be of good quality. Thus, take a photo on a good camera. You don’t need to go to a professional studio, but find use on how to find the right angle, set up the lights so they flatter you, and so on. 
2. Add photos to your album. Dating apps attract people who really want to hook up or find long-term partners, and individuals who register to mess with everyone. Thus, you can convince other users that you’re here to date if you add more photos of yourself. That way, you can prove that you’re a real person, because many users steal one profile photo of bad quality to pretend that they’re that person. 
3. Be thorough when you fill out the application. Dating sites/apps often let users fill out data about their interests, hobbies, intentions, and so on. Some apps even let clients express precise sex preferences, so they’re perfect for users into one-night stands. Add the necessary data, so the algorithm matches you with people nearby who have similar or same interests.

You may also add your autobiography if the platform allows it. Overall, be genuine and clearly express your intentions to find a match. 

Local Communities on Social Media

There are communities and forums for everything these days, so you may merely search the social medias that you already use to find the right people. You can connect to them online, see if you share interests and have a chemistry, and ask them on a date to a local beer bar or pub. 

Visit Festivals and Tasting Events in Your City

You may live in a city with local harvest festivals, wine tasting events, and similar get-togethers. You should join a community on a social media or even use Reddit to find these events and visit them with friends or co-workers. Not only that, but you can combine entertainment with finding like-minded individuals to invite for a date. It’s like killing a bird with one stone, as you’ll likely meet someone who enjoys events similar to Oktoberfest.
