(16 Sep 2017) The beer is flowing again at Munich's fabled Oktoberfest.
Mayor Dieter Reiter inserted the tap into the first keg on Saturday with two blows of his hammer and the cry of "O'zapft is" - "It's tapped."
About six million visitors are expected to come to Munich for the 184th Oktoberfest, which runs through 3 October.
The prices for a big mug of beer have gone up again and visitors have to pay 10.95 euros (about 13 US dollars) per glass - 25 cents more than last year.
Revelers also face increased security precautions because of possible attacks.
Huge flower pots block the entrances to the fest's lawn, more video cameras are installed and a new loudspeaker system has been activated to guide visitors off the festival's grounds if necessary.
