Dust off your dirndls and lederhosen — we’re bringing Oktoberfest back to the Moonwake Taproom for a full day of great beer, street food, live music, and even a stein holding competition.
We’re turning the taproom into a full beerhall for the day, with covered seating outside. Fancy dress is very much encouraged (but only optional), so pull out your best Bavarian gear and come get involved.
STREET FOOD
We’ll have warm, salted pretzels on the go all day from open.
From 12:30pm, Smoke & Mac will be bring you the best in smoked meats and loaded macaroni dishes. Their also adding german-inspired items to their menu to pair with our refreshing beers.
STEIN HOLDING COMPETITION
Think you can hold a full stein at arm's length longer than anyone else? Prove it in our stein holding contest!
We’re running two sessions across the day, one afternoon and one evening. The rules are dead simple: hold a full stein with a straight arm parallel to the floor for as long as you can. No bending, no spilling. Last one standing wins a free Stein of beer.
