🍺 October Keg Tapping: Festbier Takes the Stage It’s the best month of the year — ’Fest Season — so we’re throwing a tapping party worthy of Prince Ludwig himself.
Raise a stein for Festbier, our classic Märzen‑style lager: amber, malty‑sweet, and finished with that signature hop spice that’s been fueling celebrations for over 200 years. ABV 5.9% | IBU 21
🍽️ Paired With Schweinebraten Comfort Slow‑roasted, bier‑basted, and built for fall. Enjoy tender slices of Pork Roast covered in rich Bier Gravy, served with Sauerkraut, Mashed Potatoes, and a hearty vegetable garnish.
🎶 Music &amp; Tradition All Night The Grkmans fire up the fun at 6 PM, followed by our lively keg tapping parade at 7 PM.
🧯Speaking of fire, October is Fire Prevention Month and we're partnering with UPMC Mercy Burn Center to raise money for the Copeland Burn Fund.&nbsp;
The folks from UPMC Mercy will be helping us tap the keg...and you can help them by Rounding Up Your Check all month long to help fund lifesaving care and recovery for burn patients and at-risk communities through the Copeland Burn Fund.
Come celebrate the season the Bavarian way — bier, food, music, and pure Oktoberfest spirit. PROST! 🍺
