It’s that time of the year again, filled with oompah music, lederhosen and Lots Of Pork and Bier! It’s Oktoberfest!
Although we won’t have the chance to bring folks live oompah music and waitresses clad in dirndls, the Federal will be bringing you a fantastic Oktoberfest lineup of craft beers and one heck of a menu. Oktoberfest conjures images of pork chops, crunchy cracklins, sausages galore and an unmatched praise of the pious pig itself. Sauerkraut, red cabbage, soft glistening pretzels only add to the two-week long bier party.
Bier Party? Why, yes.
The Federal will be setting up a Bier Garten up on its deck this week in celebration of the Oktoberfest party that began in 1810 because of the marriage of Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburgausen. History is all fine and dandy, but really, let’s not lose sight of the beer.
Oktoberfest must have beer, and plenty of it. And so, the Federal is pleased to tap into your inner hog and bring loyal Federalists a Federalized Oktoberfest menu and a selection of German style biers to close the Miami Spice season that coincidentally toasts the Princess, the Bavarian harvest, the Pious Pig and the hopes of cooler Miami weather.
Zumbohl!
