I had no idea. With a quick search I found a couple of articles (the first even mentions 6 squizillion in the first paragraph) https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/oktoberfest-was-invented-by-jews https://aish.com/jews-and-beer-8-surprising-facts/ I've only had a quick scan of each, (my eyes are done for the day). Cheers for the heads up.
