It’s that time of year when local bars, breweries, and other businesses treat us to a multi-week folk festival that runs from mid and late September to the beginning of October.
Can your lederhosen handle all of the shenanigans?
Whether you’d like to visit a specific place for your favorite beer or get a taste of more than one local brewery at the Button Brew House’s Oktoberfest, you’ve got plenty of options. Also, pay attention to the date because some are happening sooner than others.
Ready or not, beer you come.
The brewery is celebrating Oktoberfest at 2 p.m. on Friday, October 1, featuring tasty beers, grub from Daniela’s Cooking food truck, and good times.
They’ll be pouring their very own Oktoberfest beer, the Metiche Märzen, which is a traditional Märzen, using Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops with notes of malt and a hint of sweetness.
At 7 p.m., they’ll be hosting their annual Stein Holding Competition and whoever holds the Stein (with a beer) the longest will win a 1912 Brewing prize.
For more information, follow 1912 Brewing Company on Facebook.
This is going to be a big and fun Oktoberfest that’s got several breweries setting up shop in one parking lot from noon – 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 9.
For $40 per person, you’ll land a Button Brew House Oktoberfest 2021 ceramic Stein, along with three half-liter beer fills. For additional pours in the outdoor area, it’s $5 each or a dollar off 16-ounce pours if you’re drinking inside the taproom.
Also, you can get a dollar off at Button Brew House if you bring in your Stein after the event and until Friday, December 31.
The food truck Haus of Brats will be parked out in front of the brewery, too, and live music includes Eric Schaffer from noon – 2 p.m., Liz and Pete from 2 – 4 p.m., and Brian Berggoetz from 4 – 6 p.m.

Also, bring along some canned dog food for LOVAR.
