Authentic Bavaria on tap
MONTECASINO - South Africa's authentic Oktoberfest experience will return to Montecasino this October.
Tops at Spar’s Bierfest will delight guests at the Montecasino outdoor events area on 17 to 19 October and 24 to 26 October. This is the first year that Bierfest will take place over two weekends and with double doses of the action, guests will undoubtedly be coming back for more. There will be oompah bands, frauleins, eisbein and a large variety of ice-cold beer, all in a 4000-seater Brauhaus. Guests at the Bierfest will partake in a 204-year-old tradition that began in Munich, Germany. History has it that when Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig married Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810, he invited the entire city of Munich to what eventually became the world’s biggest after-party.
Founding partner of the festival, South African Breweries have once more called upon their master brewers to craft three special, limited edition Bavarian-styled “biers” just for Bierfest. The ever-popular Royal Bavaria Oktoberfest Bier, the traditional Krystal Weiss Protea Edelweiss and the speciality dark ale, the King Ludwig Munich Dunkel.
Tickets can be booked via the Bierfest website or through their Facebook page. The event is not open to under 18’s.
