Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest Announces Beer List
Maryland Brewer’s Oktboberfest Announces Styles and Flavors That WIll Be Available On October 11th
Attendees Can Choose From Over 75 Different Beers from Local Breweries
Towson, MD – The Brewer’s Association of Maryland today announced the official beer list that will be featured at the 7th annual Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest on October 11, 2008 at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium, Maryland. The festival will include beer gardens featuring over 75 beers from twelve local breweries, a delicious assortment of food, live bands, exciting contests, oompah bands and much more.
“We have exceeded our expectations with the amount of beer that will be on hand and this event will present an unmatched selection of flavors for guests to taste,” stated Hugh Sisson, President of the Brewer’s Association of Maryland. “The Maryland breweries always bring their best beers and attendees can’t get enough of this festival.”
A special beer that will be at the show and will be brewed exclusively for the Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest is called BAM Bierfest. The beer was brewed in the tradition of Dusseldorf’s famous Sticke Alts and can only be bought on-site at the show. Traditionally brewed twice a year, Sticke Alt is similar to Munich’s Octoberfest beers. Cold fermentation with a special German ale yeast and extended cold conditioning give this beer a smooth and crisp character.
While tasting Maryland brews and shopping around for numerous arts and crafts, attendees will be entertained by dancing and musical performances on two stages. The main stage will consist of local acts such as Black Falls Band, Great Train Robbery and the Kelly Bell Band. The “German” stage will feature Baltimore’s finest oompah revelers – the Edelweiss Band and the Home Brew Contest. Everyone will also be amused by the Miss Oktoberfest Contest, Baltimore’s Best Beer Belly Competition and the Wife Carrying Contest.
This year, the amount of taps and the amount of bars at the show have been doubled. Because of the large amount of crowds, they are doubling the beer order as well so guests do not have to wait in long lines.
An admission ticket and a souvenir tasting mug is $18.00 in advance or $25.00 on-site and include eight beer tokens. Designated driver admission is also available for $10.00 and includes water. Kids 12 and under are free. For more information on purchasing tickets for the Maryland Brewer’s Oktoberfest, please visit www.MDOktoberfest.com or call 800-830-3976.
