    How did this film become an Alamo holiday tradition? When brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a centuries old underground beer games competition -- "Beerfest," the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less-than-warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate them, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return to defend their country and family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers to return and restore the honor of their once-proud suds-guzzling name. Broken Lizard's comedic take on Oktoberfest and competitive drinking may just be the single greatest feat in cinematic history. Who can say? To be honest, we can never really remember the ending because we're always trying to keep up with the drinking onscreen.
