Riverlands Oktoberfest Kickoff

Oktoberfest is a celebration running from September 16 through October 3, and while we'll be celebrating all month long we plan to kick it off on 9/16 with live music all day, fantastic German-style food, special seasonal beers, and more.

NO TICKETS, NO COVER...just show up and have one helluva good time.

FOOD
Strawberries BBQ with beer brats, sauerkraut, and more from 12pm until sellout. They plan to bring a LOT of food to get through both lunch and dinner service!

MUSIC
1-4pm: Fritz and the Pretzel Twists oopma band!
6-9pm: Ben & Jake Acoustic Duo

BEER
This year, we're brewing up TWO special seasonals for a total of FOUR GERMAN-STYLE BEERS ON TAP:
- Scarecrows in Lederhosen, our annual Fall seasonal, returns. This Märzenbier originated in Bavaria and brings a more amber-hued, maltier, rich, and complex beverage to the table.
- Fox Fest German Festbier ratchets down the richness for a paler, lighter, more quafable beer.
- Dukes of Bavarian Hefeweizen
- Kayak German-Style Pilsner

STEINS
Each year we release a specialy stein for the event, and this year is no different! We'll have full 1 LITER STEINS for purchase, filled or unfilled, while they last. They sellout every year, so if you don't want to miss out, preorder on our shop today.

MASSKRUGSTEMMEN (STEIN HOLDING)
Every hour or so, we'll be hosting stein holding contests to test your strength and endurance! Be on the lookout for a few other fun activities as well.

As always, we encourage every to DRINK RESPONSIBLY, carpool or Uber if possible, and stay hydrated.
