Description
Guten tag, friends! Make plans to join us Saturday, October 5 for Mississippi's brew-iest and most hoppy day as we enjoy German inspired beers from local distributors and Mississippi breweries, paired with German treats in Downtown Brandon restaurants from 2-6pm. This is a family friendly event, complete with root beer floats available and a "Kinderzone."
The tasting biergartens are: The Cleaners by Pizza Shack, Burgers Blues Barbecue, Mudbugs042, and The Gallows. Your ticket includes a tasting of a pre-designated beer in each location (four 5oz beers to be sampled)+ your $5 armband to spend time in the Biergartens. The festival ordinance will be activated and you will have the ability to purchase full size beers to walk around or meet friends, however, these beers are not allowed inside another restaurant. We are adding a Community Biergarten (designated on a later map) to sit with friends, enjoy beers and food from various Downtown Brandon establishments. There will be live music, Q&A sessions with local businesses on topics related to Oktoberfest, games, and entertainment in the Community Biergarten.
*A child ticket is not required to attend, however, root beer floats, a rock wall, and other items will be available for purchase. Patrons 21 years and older who do not have a tasting ticket will be asked at the entrance to biergartens to purchase a $5 armband to enter. Only one purchase of an armband will be needed to enter any of the biergartens during the event. The biergarten armbands are included in the price of tasting tickets.*
