Oktoberfest Wrap Up

Last weekend, the Rivertown Homebrewers club helped out at the 2nd Annual Oktoberfest and Veteran's Reunion at Kitzingen Brewery, a wonderful celebration of German tradition. Of course, Rivertown Homebrewers showed up to party, volunteer and pay respects to those who served!

​If you couldn't make it here is some of what you missed!

 A brief forward...
The microbrewery's namesake is inspired by Kitzingen, Germany, a small town near Wurzburg. Formerly part of the United States Army Wurzburg military community,  owner/brewer Rommie Bailey served at the base in the 1980's, and much of the decor inside the brewery tells the story and pays homage to the relationship between the American soldiers and the German people at the base.

It wouldn't be Oktoberfest without lederhosen and the lovely kellnerinnen (waitresses) !

As you can see from this shot taken during setup, Rommie has doubled the size of the event this year, expecting up to 3,000 people over the weekend!

Rivertown Homebrewer Drew Viersen and Kitzingen Owner/Brewer Rommie Bailey take a sneak peak at the feast provided by Darin from Us Guy's Deer Processing Extreme Catering and Pig Roasting, maestro of the pig roast. The wafting aroma greeted the guests as they arrived from near and far. Aside from the pork, traditional German bratwurst, pretzels and potato salad were all available, as they are every day at Kitzingen.

Rivertown Homebrewers weren't just there to party, we were volunteering too! Here's Mark pouring the beer from the club jockeybox whilst Perry continues his endless  recruiting in the background.

With games and kid-friendly zones, this party had something for everyone!

Time for another beer, Rivertown Homebrewers, Jeremy, Joe and Drew! Prost!

Rommie found great live music for the bash! 
Here are some samples of the phenomenal music!

It was a fantastic event and you can bet Rivertown Hombrewers are game for next year's shindig as well!
