Question Octoberfest Keg Tapping?

Does anyone know if the Germany pavillion still does the Keg-Tapping ceremony? I can't find anything about it online that's current - all of the articles I've found aren't dated later than 2005. They used to do the tapping on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and it was a keg of Octoberfest brew shipped from Munich.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

I did some searching too and it looks like that beer tapping ceremony was last (only?) held during the 10th International Food & Wine Festival in 2005, as I've found lots of articles mentioning it during that year.

However, the 2009 Festival Guide makes no mention of "keg" or "tapping." Here's a link to the guide if you want to search it for more info: Epcot's Food & Wine 2009 Festival Guide. Too bad, it sounded like it would have been !

Hopefully it'll show up again in future Festivals!

When we went last week and had lunch there they DID the keg tapping. It was a Wednesday around 1pm. I didn't know they did that, so I am not sure if they do it all day or just certain times. I didn't think to ask.

If I am not mistaken they do a little mini keg tapping at Biergarten during dinner. At least they did it last October when we were there. They picked a person from a table and he got a nice mug of beer afterwards (I'm not sure what kind of beer it was). It was kinda neat.
