WHAT:  As autumn leaves begin to fall, The Wurst Beer Hall kicks off the season with a spirited Oktoberfest celebration. The Poncey-Highland beer hall cranks up the oompah and invites guests to raise a stein during its multi-week celebration featuring authentic German food, beers, spirits and more, Sept. 16-Oct.3.

 Revelers will get a lot of bang for a buck with The Wurst’s $1 sausage special with the purchase of an Oktoberfest beer: Round Trip Brewing Oktoberfest Märzen or Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest Märzen. Other Oktoberfest highlights include a Mission Bakery pop-up on Sept. 17 and an Elemental Spirits German wine dinner on Sept. 28. The festivities hit a high note the final weekend with live music and lively gelande quaffing competitions with prizes.

 Guests are encouraged to join The Wurst Stein Club to receive a personalized stein stored at The Wurst, invitations to Stein Club-only events and a host of other perks.
