Oktoberfest Party Sunday 9/25/11

BeerMaster — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:36:15 +0000

Oktoberfest is a 16–18 day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, running from late September to the first weekend in October. It is one of the most famous events in Germany and is the world’s largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.
MiKro will be holding our own Oktoberfest Party on Sunday 9/25/11 to celebrate the occasion. We’ll be loading up our draft lines with oktoberfest styles from germany as well as some american craft versions. Chef Mike will be preparing traditional dishes to accompany the beer and we’re working on the Oompah music. Lederhosen are optional.
