We’re celebrating Oktoberfest at Upstream the way it’s meant to be celebrated. The weekend of October 3rd we are having a full-out German beer and food swaray to commemorate Oktoberfest. We’ll have the canopy tents set out in the parking lot decked with all the traditional Oktoberfest décor. German brats and huge German-style pretzels, made by our own bakery, will be served. Our beer lineup will be all our newest seasonal beers and will all be traditional German beers. These include a Hefeweizen, Vienna Lager, Rauchbier, Doppelbock, and of course, an Oktoberfest beer. There will be live music, lots of activities and plenty of fun to be had by the kids as well! More details to follow on this little gig on a separate email next week.

Pretty stoked about the Franconian fest at the Huber Haus...I still don't think Bill believes it is really happening!
If you want to taste beers from small breweries from the richest beer region probably anywhere in the world, this isn't to be missed. Most of these beers are never exported, and often aren't even found much outside of the local village where they are brewed.
Check out some videos that show a bit of the unique, old world beer culture that is still surviving in Franconia...our hope at Shelton Brothers is bring more awareness, appreciation, and respect to this centuries old culture, which does still exist, but is fading. You want the Buttner vids: http://www.youtube.com/user/SheltonBrothers
