Wiesn 2022 welcomed us back with open arms. It was our 30th anniversary!!! It was so great to see so many old friends and made many new friends. We had 100 guys from around the USA and Europe and S America. Duke took home the prestigious ROY award and Davey Boy was a great winner of the HAM award. Both guys were up early, out late, and spreading gemutlichkeit. We were featured on ARD TV and BR24 TV channels in Germany.

Duke was tied to the yardarm but still took away the big title of ROY 22!!
If anyone epitomizes the spirit of Oktoberfest and shared the gemutlichkeit that defines Oktoberfest it is Mike (Duke) Carpentier. Duke was the friendliest guy in the tent. He met everyone, had funny stories to share, was there from opening to closing each day (and two days before!!) . He really embraced the spirit of the Hacker Herren and loved being a part of the group. When he broke out the bandana and one eyed glasses, the inner pirate in him came shining through. Maybe next year he will take along his trusted partner, Salty the Parrot! Prost, Duke and congrats on ROY22. See you in '23.
