2017 Oct 16
October of 2017 is already here (I know right, so soon?!) and with it brings the grandiose celebrations of beers, BBQ, and a large pack of slightly alcoholic Sri Lankans on the prowl for a discount.
You know that saying – never miss an opportunity to celebrate drinking? Yeah, probably not a saying, but it definitely is an airtight law with us Lankans. Is anyone objecting this? Anyone? Thought not. Oktoberfest, the European beer festival, has long since made its way into our sunny little island and become a yearly ritual with such a large majority of us that most of you must be frustrated that no major promos have invaded your Facebook homepage yet. Well worry not, youngling, here’s a round-up of all the places you can frequent this month!
