THE MUSIC

The Sauerkrauts – (12:00pm – 3:00pm)

The ACCA Temple (Shrine) Sauerkrauts German Band was formed in 1976 by Philip Johnson, then Potentate of ACCA Temple, with the assistance of a fellow ACCA Band clarinet player, Robert Ashworth. They play to raise funds for the 22 Shriner’s Hospitals where children are treated for orthopedic and burn conditions with no financial responsibility to the family. All net proceeds collected by the Band go either directly to the Shriner’s Hospital Foundation or into the Transportation Fund which is used to get the children and their families to and from the Hospitals

Remeniss – (4:00pm – 7:00pm)

Remeniss is a five member band based in Richmond, Virginia. Their members are comprised of experienced professionals who are committed to delivering exceptional results for every client.

GERMAN-STYLE BEER

Oktoberfest – A blended style of Märzen and Fest Bier creates a perfectly malty lager with just a touch of sweetness. Created to pair perfectly with a Liter Stein.

Kölsch – A classic light German-style ale that is pale yellow with a slight hop bitterness. A very approachable and fest worthy brew!

Roggenbier - A dunkelweizen made with rye rather than wheat, but with a bigger body and light finishing hops. Flavors of spicy rye, pumpernickel bread, and a bit of malt sweetness.

Brewski - A German-style Dortmunder that is light, crispy, and easy drinking.

THE FOOD

Flavor Chariot (12:00pm – 7:00pm) – Flavor Chariot is a regular here at the brewery. They will be bringing the German-flavor heat with a variety of grilled meats and classic dishes.
