I won a pair of tickets to Fremont Oktoberfest as part of a random blind drawing for 99 Bottles Club members. My friend Chris and I headed up to Fremont on a lovely early fall day—clear skies, sunshine, low 70s, not too humid—to enjoy sampling some microbrews.
Beer Tent 6: Alaskan, Baron/Three Skulls, Big Al, Goose, Kona, Redhook, Firestone Walker. Big Al's Tripel was excellent.
Each brewer offered one or two ales or lagers. Each token filled up your five-ounce mug with your choice of brew.
Woody, the Deschutes Brewery Traveling Barrel, and Woody's Lounge.
A veal sausage bratwurst, smothered in sauerkraut and yellow mustard, was the perfect companion to an Oktoberfest/Märzen.
We are very happy at this point—beer, brats, beautiful weather.
The crowds quadrupled in the nearly four hours of our time at the festival. We were glad to head home when we did, before long lines and noisy drunkards became the norm.
