Chur-Tober Fest at Churly's

Overview

Believe it or not, we're almost in October which means everyone's favourite German carnival for beer lovers is fast approaching.

But Behemoth Brewing's Dominion Road HQ dares to ask the question — why wait until the official month to celebrate Oktoberfest? Instead, Churly's is kicking off celebrations with the annual Chur-tober fest celebration on Saturday, September 17.

Naturally, Bavarian traditions will be front and centre, thanks to Churley's adjoining butchery where the kitchen sources all their meat from day to day. While they're whipping up some meat-based delights, a traditional German Oompah band will be providing the entertainment, and Behemoth's Chur-toberfest Feistbeir festival larger will be on tap and pouring all day for people to enjoy.

Not in Auckland and desperate to attend? Behemoth will be live streaming the whole event so no beer lovers miss out on the action. True fans can even pre-order beers and steins to be shipped out in time to be enjoyed on the day.

Running from 1pm until 8pm on Saturday, September 17 it's a chance to celebrate all things meat and beer in a deliciously central setting. Lederhosen is highly encouraged, but not compulsory.
