We are calling it an ALT-ober fest because we just launched a pretty killer Altbier, and we figured, “Why the hell not throw a kick-ass party?” (and to be honest, we didn’t know what to call it). You can call it a late grand opening or a pseudo-Oktoberfest, but we are just going to call it a good time.

We’re closing down the sidewalk for the party (weather permitting) and we’ve got MUSIC, FOOD, BEERS from other breweries, and a PUMPKIN carving contest!

MUSIC:
2 PM – @fkarayne
5 PM – @emmettjeromemusic
8:30 PM – Late – @mr.stee (DJ)

BEER:
In keeping with the season and to add to our Altbier lineup, we are bringing in two more German, fall seasonal selections from our friends at @luppolo_brewing and @slackwaterbrewing

@luppolo_brewing – Festa Lager – German style Märzen. Aromas of caramel, dark fruit, and toffee lead to flavours of biscuit, graham cracker, and honey with subtle malt sweetness and balanced bitterness.

@slackwaterbrewing Schnitzengiggle Festbier- A malty, delicious, and slightly stronger than normal German-style lager, released in celebration of Oktoberfest!

FOOD:
Our friends at @snackishsausages will be cooking up some fully loaded sausage wraps with some other goodies all day long.

PUMPKINS:
We are going to buy 35 pumpkins and will have them all gutted and ready to carve at 3 PM until they are all spoken for. $5 gets you an entry and a pumpkin with tools to carve.

Bring down the kids or bring down your inner child. We will be having a contest for the best pumpkin and we will have some great Shaketown prizes to give away.

It’s been a crazy summer since we opened, so come down and celebrate with us until late. We promise that this will be one hell of a good time.
