Pretzels | Oktoberfest | Clay Cutters

Pretzels became popular in Bavarian beer gardens and halls in the early 19th century, where they were served alongside beer and Obatzder, a popular cheese spread. The salt from pretzels can enhance the flavor and bitterness of some beers, while providing a contrast to less hoppy beers. Pretzels are also iconic symbols of Oktoberfest.
