Disastrous Oktoberfest event organisers branded ''embarrassing'' after hour long wait for beer

Furious Brits were left queuing for hours in the ''freezing cold'' for a Oktoberfest event in North West Wales that's been described as an ''unmitigated disaster'' as organisers deal with a influx of angry customers complaints. The poorly put together event was held in a cold barn in Anglesey as a part of a celebration for the annual worldwide festival, Oktoberfest, that brings authentic German beer, food and culture to different locations around the UK.

Having been the first time Oktoberfest UK had come to Anglesey, once excited customers have now deemed the event organisers as ''embarrassing'' after they were left dissatisfied by huge entry queues and over an hour long wait for a drink of beer. As a result of the lengthy delays, irritated customers left the event, describing the occasion as a ''waste of an evening'' and opted for the pub instead, the Mirror reports.

Oktoberfest UK, who define themselves as ''the UK's biggest operator of authentic German beer festivals'' have responded to the disastrous event and have confessed that they will be taking onboard ''some important lessons'' in the future. An earlier post on the company's Facebook page had attracted dozens of angry comments. The Anglesey event was described as "embarrassing" and an "unmitigated disaster".
