Well it depends on what youre looking for!.
If you want your guests to live a real Ocktoberfest, then give them salty appetizers!. That should keep them drinking beer!. Thats why they give you peanuts, pretzels etc!.!. in bars, So you keep buying beer, salt makes you thirsty!.
And about the desserts!. Well, after drinking that much beer you would really want to keep away from any dessert!. Sugar will give you a heavier, nastier hangover!.
I know is not exactly what you where looking for, but i just needed to let you know about this!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Parmessan Rounds - make lots cause they go fast (and they're really easy):
1 cup mayo
3/4 cup shredded (not grated) parmesan cheese
about 1/3-1/2 cup chopped green onion
25-30 Ritz crackers
Put the mayo, cheese and onions in a big ziploc and work them together in the bag until blended!. Lay the crackers out on a baking sheet!. Snip a pretty big hole in the corner of the bag and squeeze the mixture out into little piles on top each of the crackers!. Press slightly with the back of a spoon!. Broil about 4-6 inches from the heat for about 2-3 minutes or so until melty!. But keep an eye on them! The crackers burn around the edges really quickly if you're not careful!.
