Enjoy the best of beer, bratwurst and Bavariana in Gracy's Bar, at Westport House, on Saturday 5th October. This is the fourth incarnation of the popular festival which combines craft beer, music and food in an ideal setting.
It’s a confident declaration by the artisan brewing company, particularly in the face of both Dublin and Cork cancelling their Oktoberfest events.
Mescan Brewery are teaming up with local chefs to bring festival goers the best bratwurst outside Germany to complement their specially brewed Oktoberfest Beer. In the best Oktoberfest tradition the beer is served in an array of steins in all shapes and sizes. Mescan plan to keep the dancing going all day long with a great mix of live bands and leading European Oktoberfest DJs, Johan und Paul, flown in specially for the event.
