Oktoberfest in Burien: Sept. 26

It's that time of year again to celebrate the venerable German tradition of Oktoberfest.

The original "Oktoberfest" occurred in Munich, on October 18, 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Today more than six million people attend the sixteen-day festival during late September. According to recent estimates, nearly 7 million liters of beer are consumed during the festival!

Our humble festivities in Burien will take place Saturday, September 26. Look for live music, special beers and food, and an outdoor beer garden! More details later as they become available.

This year we've entered seven beers in the competition where professionally-brewed beers are awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals in a wide range of style categories. So far we've won medals for our Alembic Pale Ale (Gold, 2000), Orange Infusion (Gold, 2001), and Demolition (Bronze, 2003).

For 2009 we've entered Organic Coffee Stout, Imperial von Boorian, Hoppus Callosum, Wit von Boorian, Portside Barley Wine, Syrah Baltic Porter, and Brandy Barrel Imperial Brown. In addition, we submitted a beer for the Pro-Am competition, a barley wine brewed from an award-winning home brew recipe. The event takes place September 24-26, with awards announced on Saturday the 26th. Wish us luck!
