La Crosse’s Oktoberfest celebration was started 50 years ago this year by a local brewery. That’s why The Brewmaster decided to bring back this special brew for such an occasion. A locally made Fest Beer for a local festival. Makes damn good sense. And since we can’t do anything without lots of fanfare.

Mark your calendars for Thursday September 2nd. We’ll be releasing the Lederhosen Lager Fest Beer from 4pm to 8pm. They’ll be live music, food and of course lots of beer. What’s the added bonus you ask? If you wear your lederhosen and show off your Oktoberfest spirit, you can drink FREE beer. Prost!

PICK A POUND FOR A PINT

Helping out has never been so rewarding. It is that time of year again. Time to pick the hops. We figure since you’re here, sitting on the porch and hanging out – why not make yourself useful? All you have to do is pick a pound of hops and you get a pound (16oz) of beer for FREE. Oh and you can brag about how you personally helped with this year’s batch of Harvest Ale! How cool is that?

The 2nd Annual Hop Harvest is from Tuesday August 30th when the doors open at 4pm until Saturday September 4th or until all the hops have been harvested.
