With our third of four annual events in the books this last weekend I thought it was an appropriate time to start posting information on our next event.......OKTOBERFEST!!! Oktoberfest starts every year in Munich, Germany on the third Saturday in September as a celebration of the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. At Bashore BrewHaus we use Oktoberfest to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of the holiday season. Bashore BrewHaus Oktoberfest will take place on Saturday September 19th starting at noon when we tap our Marzen BashoreFest. Unlike previous events Oktoberfest will involve new beers going on tap every hour until 3:30 when Michigan State kicks off against Notre Dame. The schedule for beer releases is as follows.
12 noon - BashoreFest (decotion style German Marzen)
1:15 pm - Monk's Lederhosen Abbey Weizen (A Belgian style hefeweizen ale)
2:15 pm - May the Kolsch be With You (A German Style Kolsch ale popularized in the city of Koln, Germany)
3:15 pm - Fugly One Chocolate Pumpkin Porter (An American style Brown Porter that is brewed with pumpkin, chocolate, vanilla and spices)----LIMITED BATCH RELEASE
***First pours of each of these brews will take place in the tent and then the brew will be moved to the pub for future servings***
Our Oktoberfest will take place mainly outside under a tent so dress appropriately for it as it may be a bit chilly. Like the German Oktoberfest...ours will be a celebration of food, music and friends....dancing and singing is encouraged. We will be tuning into the Michigan State football game at 3:30 pm as they beat the shit of the Floppy Irish from Notre Dame. We're going to do our best to serve traditional German fare all day and as always, anyone that would like to bring food would be extremely welcome. More details will follow as they become available, but mark your calenders and raise a glass....PROSIT!!!!
