Frenchies Bistro & Brewery is bringing back its annual Oktoberfeast celebration held at its home within The Cannery in Rosebery on Saturday, 26 September.<\/strong><\/p>\n The day is set to be full of traditional Bavarian themed festivities including German-style beers and a feast of authentic food.<\/p>\n Co-Founder and Brewery Director Vincent De Soyres, is excited to welcome festivalgoers for another year, reflecting on the personal meaning of the cultural celebration.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing half German, Oktoberfest has been one of my favourite annual events since I was a budding brewer old enough to go in-person, and it\u2019s such a blast transporting that electric atmosphere from Munich to Frenchies.<\/p>\n \u201cWe turn nine this month and apart from Covid have held our Oktoberfeast every year, so it really is a special one for us, and our festivalgoers too, with many faces returning again and again,\u201d he told Beer & Brewer<\/em>.<\/p>\n As per Oktoberfeast tradition, Frenchies will be pouring traditional beers brewed especially for the occasion with the final line up to be announced soon. \u00a0<\/p>\n The event features a schedule of competitions, games and challenges including Masskrugstemmen (a stein holding challenge), a best dressed competition and more.<\/p>\n Thomas Cauquil, Co-Founder and Head Chef said: \u201cThere will be some new games for guests to get involved with too, which \u2013 you heard it here first \u2013 will include a barley toss challenge and German-style dance-off measured with a pedometer.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n The bistro will deliver German classics including pretzels; Flammekueche, a thin bread topped with bacon and onion; Kasespatzle, a German dish similar to mac and cheese; German sausages, sauerkraut and mustard; pork knuckle, beer gravy, coleslaw and apple sauce; and more.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll have a tasty German food menu, but you can\u2019t go past the crispy skin pork knuckle. But don\u2019t worry there will be snacks, mains and desserts for all tastes,\u201d said Cauquil.<\/p>\n Entry to Oktoberfeast costs $29 and includes a Frenchies-branded stein, which can be used on the day, and later taken home as a keepsake.<\/p>\n Children under 18 are also able to attend for free alongside a responsible ticket-holding adult.<\/p>\n Cauquil added: \u201cOur Oktoberfeast is a family-friendly, fun-filled day and all are very welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
