Exciting news for beer drinkers – the Oktober Bierfest will
be launching in Cape Town this October. The festival promises to be
authentically Bavarian, closely resembling the Oktoberfest in Munich. Enjoy
German food, Oompah bands and limited edition beers brewed exclusively for the
event.
For over 200 years the annual Oktoberfest in Munich has been
a defining part of Bavarian culture. Now the world’s largest festival, it
attracts more than five million people from around the globe to Germany each
year. Attending the Oktoberfest is on the ‘bucket list’ for many, but this year
South Africans will not have to travel abroad for the experience – the Oktober
Bierfest is coming to Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Halls will be draped in traditional style and guests can
enjoy an array of Bavarian cuisine supplied by the finest local purveyors of
German food, be served by Fräulein while listening to an entertainment lineup
that includes live Oompah bands. In order to bring the taste of Germany to
Oktober Bierfest, founding partner The South African Breweries Ltd, will be
brewing beers exclusively for the event.
“We are committed to supporting the growth of the beer
category as a whole and are looking forward to brewing three special limited
edition Bavarian-styled beers. For the first time ever, South Africans can
enjoy Royal Bavaria Oktoberfest Bier, King Ludwig’s Munich Dunkel and Protea
Edelweiss Krystal Weiss,” says Diarmaid De Burca, General Manager of Newlands
Brewery, the SAB’s flagship brewery.
With the added involvement of the South African and German
Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Oktober Bierfest promises to be an
authentic Bavarian festival.
Venue: Village Green, Newlands Brewery.
