Oaktoberfest V
Oaktoberfest returns for its 5th year to River Oaks Hot Springs in Paso Robles Saturday, September 26. Firestone Walker Brewing Co. and Estrella Associates present this years event with additional sponsorships from City of Paso Robles, Courtyard Marriott - Paso Robles, BMW of San Luis Obispo, Rabobank and Wine Wrangler. Event proceeds benefit Hospice of San Luis Obispo County.
Oaktoberfest celebrates the unique flavors of the Central Coast while honoring classic beer traditions, said Jamie Smith, marketing manager for Firestone Walker Brewing Co. The community has really rallied around this event over the past few years. We have added new attractions and were expecting our biggest turnout yet.
Last years Oaktoberfest raised more than $20,000 for Hospice of San Luis Obispo County, and the goal this year is $30,000.
Oaktoberfest will be held at River Oaks Hot Springs Spa in Paso Robles from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 26. Tickets are $40 per person ($45 at the door if not sold out), which includes admission, 2 steins of beer or 2 glasses of wine, and a traditional German lunch provided by Old Vienna Restaurant. The first 1,000 people through the door will receive a commemorative stein.
The multifaceted festivities will include the tapping of a special Oaktoberfest beer, live polka hits by Trio Internationale and another local band (TBA). The popular Beer Olympics will also take place featuring feats of strength and agility such as keg tossing, barrel rolling and stein racing. Traditional Oktoberfest-style fare will be served by Old Vienna Restaurant of Shell Beach.
The ceremonial beer will arrive in barrels on a horse-drawn carriage. A selection of Firestone Walker beers will be complemented by a German beer garden featuring a variety of German brews and German varietal wines from local vineyards.
The Oktoberfest tradition originated in Munich, Germany in 1810 as a two-week festival of food, fun and beer. Oktoberfest is today celebrated around the world as regional breweries release hearty seasonal beers.
Admission is limited to those 21 or older.
This a rain or shine event!
NOTE: No one under 21 years old will be admitted.
