Oktoberfest

Contrary to popular belief, THE Oktoberfest festival in Munich begins in late September. This year, the two week festival begins Saturday September 20 and runs through October 5.
The most authentic annual Oktoberfest celebration around here takes place annually at the Brick Store Pub. Saturday October 4 is the date this year and I have heard that up to 5 different Oktoberfest-style biers will be flowing into those 1 liter mugs! Throw in some lederhosen, boot chugging, and delicious wurst & cheeses, this is a can't miss event. Some of the lads pictured above will be pumping up the crowd with German song around Noon, so get there early.

Here in the greater Decatur area, there is a lot of beer hoppenings going on over the next month.

Great Decatur Beer Festival- Almost Sold-Out!
You can now only buy tickets on-line for this event on Saturday October 18. Kingsized, Donna Hopkins, and American Bang will be on-stage throughout the day which will be a nice change from the speed metal band from last year, Thorn of Donkey.

Now Open- The Grange Public House

The Grange Public House is now open on 426 West Ponce de Leon Ave, in the former Angel spot by the Decatur post office. I have read good things about this Irish pub, and the draft list looks pretty good (for an Irish bar)

Finishing up...

There is a new beer festival called Hotoberfest hoppening on Saturday October 4th in Glenwood Park.

And I have been meaning to check out Little 5 Points newest beer pub, The Porter. There was a nice review in the AJC last week, and hopefully some fresh hop breath can be blown through L5P now...
