In 1900 Munich, ambitious brewer Curt Prank uses brutal tactics on his quest to build a beer hall that will dominate the city's lucrative Oktoberfest.
E1 · Vision
Prank's plans for a beer hall and a wealthy suitor for daughter Clara are derided by Munich's elite, but soon only the Hoflingers remain in his way.
E2 · Signs of the Times
The murder of Ignatz Hoflinger shocks Munich but gives Prank an opportunity to seize the victim's festival lot. Roman and Clara awkwardly meet again.
E3 · Love and Capital
Munich's top brewing executive, Stifter, maneuvers Prank into a partnership and a marriage to Clara. But she and Roman have a scandalous secret.
E4 · First Tapping
Oktoberfest begins but Prank's position is precarious — as is his health. Roman barely survives a savage beating. Colina finds a new role for herself.
E5 · Dawn of a New Century
Prank strikes a conciliatory tone with the Hoflingers but a scandal means more tragedy for the embattled family. Colina's estranged husband returns.
E6 · Last Judgement
The legal maneuvering of the publicans leads to an unlikely Prank-Hoflinger alliance brokered by Clara, who also helps Colina escape her husband.
