Observing Oktoberfest in the 512

by The 100 Companies

Munich’s annual Oktoberfest (held over a two-week period, concluding the second Sunday in October) pays homage to the festival first held on October 12, 1810 when King Louis I – then Crown Prince of Bavaria – wed Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. To this day, the event takes place in beer halls up and down Theresienweise, so-named in the bride’s honor. (Image courtesy of Brett Sayles for Pexels)

Hankering for an authentic German brew minus the trek to Munich?

Make tracks to the biergarten at Live Oak Brewing (615 Crozier Lane, Del Valle) for a local spin on an old German tradition. Enjoy a convivial atmosphere boasting 22 acres, disc golf and plenty of German suds on tap – including Oaktoberfest, brimming with Bavarian flavor.

Or, hit the road for a day trip to Fredericksburg. This charming German village promises all things Deutsch – from gewurztraminer at the Messina Hof Winery and schnitzel at The Auslander to all things sweet and savory at the Old German Bakery and Restaurant.

Prost!
