Oktoberfest may be canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, but at least you can celebrate at home.
On Monday, Auntie Anne’s and Samuel Adams announced they have partnered to create an Oktoberfest kit that includes beer, snacks and apparel for fans who want to celebrate the German festival at home.

"We can all agree that there is no better pairing than pretzels and beer, especially during Oktoberfest," Marcel Nahm, Auntie Anne's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "And since this historic celebration was canceled in Germany and so many Oktoberfest celebrations are being held virtually in the states, we knew we needed to step in and offer a fun way for snackers and drinkers to still create an authentic experience at home."

The companies also created a playlist -- called “Prost from Home” -- “which features authentic tunes that fans can stream on their favorite devices,” the announcement said.
The kits are not available in Alabama, Alaska, Kentucky, Hawaii, Mississippi and Utah because of alcohol laws in those states.
