Hickory's Oktoberfest runs from October 9th through the 11th, and we'll be there! It's a hardship having to truck in our beer from 3 blocks down the road, but we love our loyal patrons and we're willing to put in the extra effort.

Joking aside, Oktoberfest is one of our favorite events. There are two beer gardens and we'll be offering several options. At the Beck's beer garden we'll have our Oktoberfest on tap. At the Klingspor stage/beer garden we'll have not only Oktoberfest, but also Piedmont Pilsner, our Hefeweizen and one other. Of course if you want to move indoors, or keep the spirit alive after the main festival shuts down each evening, you can find us at the Olde Hickory Tap Room as well. Located on Union Square, the Tap Room has more than 10 Olde Hickory beers available, including the award wining Irish Walker and Bardstownin bottles as well as our minikegs. There is plenty to do at the festival including: special activities and performances for kids and teens, food and craft vendors and several performance stages.

But that's not all! Charlotte's 11th annual Oktoberfest seems to be sold out, but we look forward to seeing all the lucky ticket holders on October 11th (it's a busy weekend!). Please note, the location has changed since the initial announcement, and it now at the Metrolina Expo. See www.charlotteoktoberfest.com for more information.

As always, please enjoy yourselves & be safe!

Cheers!
