It's finally here!
Our first Oktoberfest of the year is TOMORROW!

And as we have learned on Swiss National Day this year:
Rain or Shine - ALWAYS!

Have you ever tasted Erdinger Non-Alcoholic Weissbier? THE best non-alc beer we have ever tasted...
And, in addition, it actually has health benefits:
🤓 The sodium in non-alcoholic beer benefits recovery following exercise.
🤓 The lower the alcohol content, the better beer is able to hydrate the body.
🤓 Researchers also believe that non-alcoholic beer benefits your cardiovascular health.

Either way: PROSIT and see you on Sunday!

Many Germans see these as a token of affection - and not as a tasty treat

Well, our Lebkuchenhearts can both! Handmade with so much love (let us customize some for you!), they are not only super cute to look at - they are also hard to keep around: because they are too DELICIOUS! Once you nip on it, you won`t be able to stop 🤷‍♀️

Bring the kiddos on Sunday and have them decorate their very own Lebkuchenheart!

A little bit about where we get our delicious German Bratwurst from:

Binkert's German Meat Products has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1964. The company is a family-owned and operated business located in the greater Baltimore area. It specializes in traditional German meat products, including artisan sausages, salamis, and cold cuts, all made in-house using recipes passed down through generations.

Fun fact:
Their logo image depicts a girl wearing the traditional dirndl costume or “Tracht” of the Black Forest region in Germany bordering Karlsruhe and Stuttgart to the north and Basel and Lake Constance to the south.

Come and get them: grilled to perfection, paired with juicy Sauerkraut and a crispy bun! See you on Sunday!

🥨 & 🍻

Name a better pair...

We got them both! And are serving HOT Giant Bavarian Pretzels during our Oktoberfest in the parking lot on Sunday from 11AM-3PM. See you there!

Like German wines?
See you on Sunday! We'll be tasting, sipping and cheersing - you do not want to miss it 🤷‍♀️

The more you know🤓
Wilhelm Holzapfel et al., Plinius the Elder, is reputed to have been the first writer to describe the making of Sauerkraut by preserving what the Romans called salt cabbage in earthen vessels in the first century AD! Popular folklore has imagined that Sauerkraut was introduced to Europe by the trade networks formed across Eurasia by the Golden Horde. However, according to Mack and Surina (authors of the book "Food Culture in Russia and Central Asia."), there is NO evidence to support this theory, but there IS evidence of Sauerkraut production in Europe dating back to the early period of the Western Roman Empire.

So what do you think? Sauerkraut as a Roman creation or an Asian import?

Since Alte Kameraden Blaskapelle founding in 1977 under the leadership of the band’s first Kapellmeister Samuel Laudenslager, the “Old Comrades” have introduced American audiences to the lush, spirited Festmusik played by Bavarian bands. The ensemble is an authentic wind instrument group that performs the music played by alpine village bands.

In 1995, the Fairfax Alte Kameraden became the first American band to receive membership in the "Musikbund von Ober-und-Niederbayern (MON)" –Bavaria’s association of village bands. Two years later, the Alte Kameraden was inducted into the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Militärmusik–Germany’s honorary society for bands and military music.

And next Sunday they will be playing for YOU! See you then 👋👋
