Raise your foaming glasses, chilled mugs and ice-cold bottles! It’s time to celebrate the world’s largest beer festival at one of the finest spots in town. Cask Republic, a Best of the Gold Coast winner for “Best Specialty Beer” in 2015, is undoubtedly the ideal bar for unwinding and imbibing during this year’s Oktoberfest celebration. The 16-day German folk festival takes place annually from September 19th through October 4th just outside of Munich’s center to embrace the Bavarian culture and pride. Today, other cities across the globe eagerly follow suit, modeling their own Oktoberfest celebrations after this beloved Munich event. This year’s festivities in Stamford are no exception!
Focusing on tradition coupled with a few German-inspired American brews to add a touch of familiarity to the mix, here are four beers Cask Republic will be featuring on draught for Oktoberfest:
Ayinger Oktoberfest, Germany
Paulaner Oktoberfest, Germany
Left Hand Brewing Oktoberfest, Colorado
Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest, New York
In addition to these fitting beer choices, Cask Republic will also pay homage to German tradition with an array of classic Oktoberfest dishes:

Beer Braised Beef Stew | Root Vegetables | Egg Yolk
Skate Wing Schnitzel | German Potato Salad | Roasted Spinach | Whole Grain Mustard Sauce
Beer Brined Pork Chop | Housemade Sauerkraut | Applewood Smoked Bacon | Ayinger Beer Gastrique
