Although the Queen City's traditional beer-drenched Oktoberfest celebration won't be taking place this fall in its typical form, Fairfax's craft distillery Karrikin is putting together a Oktoberfest party that will offer a taste of the real thing on Sept. 27.
(Oktoberfest has moved "In Za Haus" Sept. 18-27 with streaming content and associated smaller events at Greater Cincinnati bars and restaurants.)
Karrikin is teaming up with local German pop-up eatery The Lübecker for Frühschoppen Sunday. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it is described as a German and Austrian cultural tradition where folks head to their local pubs, inns or taverns late Sunday mornings to gather, imbibe and sometimes munch.
The celebration will have plenty of German foods to delight your taste buds, as well as several Karrikin brews, including the German-style Fest beer, Dark Lager Pilsner and two Karrikin sparkling spirit-infused Radlers.
Frühschoppen Sunday will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be spread throughout the distillery's taproom, dining room and hop garden.
