The Bavarian Beerhaus' First Birthday

Overview

It's birthday time at the Bavarian Beerhaus, with the Bowen Hills' drinking spot celebrating a year of slinging German food and booze on King Street. To mark the occasion, it's throwing a weekend-long party across Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. Prepare to eat, drink, toss sausages and hold steins.

On the food lineup, you'll be able to tuck into 10-cent wings and $5 giant pretzels — or, if you buy a selected beverage between 4–6pm, grab some loaded fries, buffalo wings and mini dagwood dogs for free. On the fun lineup, you can enter a heap of food challenges. Can you scoff down more pretzels than anyone else? Chug more non-alcoholic beer? Feed yourself sausages using someone else's hands? Here's your chance to find out.

If you're also wondering how well — and far — you can throw a snag, that's another contest. So is bobbing for apples, holding glasses, playing ping pong and competing in an egg-and-spoon race.

Entry is free, with the festivities kicking off at midday each day. On Saturday, there'll also be live music and free cupcakes.
