FANCY a beer with a view…the Point Yacht Club is the place to be for the fun-filled, German themed Beer and Bratwurst on the Bay this Saturday.
Following the successful Beer and Bunny on the Bay in January, the yacht club decided to organise a German themed afternoon inspired by Chef Markus Banziger, chef-extraordinaire from the Point Yacht Club’s restaurant, The Anchorage. The second edition of the festive bay series takes place as part of the Point Yacht Club’s 125 birthday celebrations.
Commodore for the Point Yacht Club, Craig Millar said, “We were overwhelmed with the massive response from the Beer and Bunny event, it was an obvious decision to create this event to welcome everyone back for some more festivities on our picturesque lawns overlooking the bay. Utilising Chef Markus’ Swiss roots and it being six months until Oktoberfest we opted for the German theme.”
“This is a historic birthday year for us, and we would love to encourage people down to our club and hopefully welcome them to the wonderful world of water-sports.”
Making a welcome return, local brewer The Standeaven from Hillcrest will be offering their on-tap craft beers and a highlight, their delicious on-tap craft gin. Joining them will be Woodstock’s quirky brewing company, Drifter.
Drifter has a couple of nautical apt brews that compliments the setting, options such as the Scallywag IPA and the Stranded Coconut.On the menu, will be a variety of German and Swiss-German cuisine, traditional favourites such as Cervelat, Bockwurst, Eisbein, Fleischkäse and of course, Bratwurst will be dished up with options of Swiss style Rösti Potato or, the famous Sauerkraut. An interesting item on the menu is an Oktoberfest favourite, the beer pretzel.
Entertainment organised for the day include Durban’s one and only Afrikaans band, Systraat Serenade who have been challenged to delve into a German tune or two. French Congolese performer Rene Tshiakanyi. The singer, songwriter performs in a medley of languages, including his mother-tongue French with English, Afrikaans and Portuguese.
