We keep our events simple, informative and just plain fun. No hot pokers in your beer, no foot races, no release parties for the next beer we put peanut butter in, just 'to the point' galas. Our wine seminar's are usually taught by people with 30+ years of experience, our Sunday beer flights will feature beers you won't be able to taste elsewhere and our weekend wine flights are like mini wine classes at your leasure. We do 4-5 mini-beer festivals a year (usually on Sunday) that are major bashes; our Trappist Festival features 18 different Trappist beers, our Bockfest features every great Doppelbock from Bavaria (many from monasteries), September is Octoberfest month, and we usually feature 10-12 rare Bavarian festbiers you also won't fine elsewhere for the entire month. Stay tuned, we will try and post far enough in advance to help you plan ahead.
WHAT: GERMANY'S AMAZING BURGUNDIAN VARIETALS
COST: $65.00
GUEST SPEAKER: Amy Waller (German Wine Collection)
Tuesday, September 9th: 7:00pm to 9:00pm
What Germany is doing with 'Burgundian' varietals is simply amazing. The weather is just perfect with hot summer temperatures to bring the sugars up and brisk, cool nights to bring the acids up. Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc are performing out of this world, producing wines with classic fresh, aromatic fruit with super crisp acids. The problem is, so little fruit is planted, so trying to find a bottle can be quite tricky. And did we mention what they do with Pinot Noir? Germany is the second oldest country to grow Pinot Noir in the world. The old vines are proving to be extraordinary as current releases are rivaling wines from France for 1/3rd the price. This is going to be an incredible tasting, so make sure you grab your tickets early.
Amy Waller from the German Wine Collection (one of the most prestigious German wine importers in the country) will be leading the tasting.
Our fourth Annual Oktoberfest celebration. We go a little overboard with this famous festival, celebrating for the entire month of September AND showcasing at least 12 Authentic German fest beers (four from famous German Monasteries and of course our own Yoerg's Festbier that many consider as good as the classics out of Bavaria). We will have German wine flights every weekend in September and will have the most diverse selection of German Fest music on the Stereo system, not to mention hours upon hours of vintage film from Munich's Oktoberfest. No other festival like it. So make sure you stop in and grab a flight of Authentic Fest beers (we will have at least four Bavarian fest beers on tap at a time.)
WHAT: OKTOBERFEST 2025
