Beechworth craft-brewery Bridge Road Brewers is hosting its forth annual Oktoberfest. Located in the heart of town, this small brewery has a swag of awards to its name, and is ready for this years celebration of beer and music to be its best yet. The event is based around the original Oktoberfest held in Munich in late September each year.
The Beechworth event will be held on Sat 11th and Sun 12th of October, from 11am till 6pm. October is also the breweries official beer month, with other events being planned for October including a beer degustation evening and special brewing events.
Visitors are encouraged to get out the Lederhosen or Dirndl (traditional Bavarian dress) and enjoy the festivities. This family weekend will include children’s activities, plenty of beer, German cuisine and fun for all with a traditional ohm-pah band belting out some great drinking tunes.
Bridge Road Brewers, established by Ben Kraus and his Austrian partner Maria Frischmann, has been brewing its beers for a little over 3 years and has come a long way from its origins in the family garage where the business spent its first year. Its relocation to an old coach house in Beechworth’s centre has proven a success. The brewery has been able to expand its range of beers, currently nine, and increase its production capacity to almost double.
Oktoberfest Entertainment will be provided by Alpine Cocktail, specialists in German ohm-pah music, with vocalist Rene hailing from Vienna, Austria.
The new venue has also allowed the addition of a kitchen to the brewery, where, apart from the giant pretzels, pizzas are the pick of the lunch time menu.
The Beechworth Oktoberfest will be held at Bridge Road Brewers, off Ford St, behind Tanswell’s Hotel, rear access from High St. It will be held between 11am and 6pm on Sat 11th and Sun 12th of October.
