We are excited to again host the Oktoberfest Tasting Preview on Thursday, September 22nd from 5:00-8:00pm at Brakeman’s Café located at 56 S. Washington St., Boyertown, PA 19215. Last year’s debut of this event was a big hit, and we will be expanding the pairings and offering a couple new ones this year.

We are happy to be partnering with some great local breweries again, and attendees will sample 5 beers and a hard cider that will be available for purchase at the weekend’s Oktoberfest event. Each beer will be paired with a German-themed appetizer. In addition, guests can add on a dinner option featuring grilled bratwurst on a roll with sauerkraut and mustard served with German potato salad. Tasting tickets are $50 and dinner tickets are $18. Tickets are limited. Deadline to purchase tasting tickets is September 14.
