East Ballard Oktoberfest -with Populux, Reuben’s, Stoup

If there’s another neighborhood in another major American city with more breweries than Ballard, I have yet to see it. I suppose it was just a matter of time that some of Ballard’s breweries teamed up to present something like this. Three of Ballard’s beloved breweries present the East Ballard Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 26th.

Reuben’s Brews, Stoup Brewing, and Populuxe Brewing are hosting a moving Oktoberfest celebration that rolls from one brewery to the next, inviting the crowd to march through the streets of Ballard led by The Oompah Machine, a traditional Oompah band. At each stop you’ll find commemorative steins, food trucks and fun.

Here’s the whole story:

Since it wouldn’t be Oktoberfest without the beer, each brewery will be releasing a signature Oktoberfest brew, available in individual commemorative steins. Limited quantities of each stein will be available at their taproom locations, $6 empty or $10 filled.

Not to worry, they know that good, ole fashioned revelry requires proper fuel. A food truck will be posted at each location: At Reuben’s, Burgurphenia will be grilling a beer brat made with their Marzen, Das Brat Wagen will be vending signature German fare at Stoup and Peasant Food Manifesto will feature a currywust sausage on a pretzel bun, in the yard at Populuxe.

And since pretzels are second to beer at Oktoberfest, event sponsor Verity Bank will provide pretzel bites at each stop.

“The inaugural East Ballard Oktoberfest will undoubtedly be the beginning of an exciting new Ballard tradition that celebrates one of our most valuable locally-produced resources: beer!” said Ballard Chamber Executive Director Mike Stewart. So break out the lederhosen and get ready to nourish your beer loving soul. You won’t want to miss this Oktoberfest celebration.
