Celebrate Oktoberfest at Coppertail Brewing Co.
Sat Sep 23, 11:00 AM - Sun Sep 24, 12:00 AM

Get out your lederhosen, dirndls & Tyrolean hats, and head to Coppertail Brewing Co. at the edge of Ybor City in Tampa to celebrate Oktoberfest.

The well-known German beer festival has been held in Munich since 1810, and it’s on its way to becoming a mainstay celebration at Coppertail for many years to come.

In addition to their regular lineup of outstanding beer, Coppertail will have several German fest-style beers available through the weekend including:

• Tampa Dunkel- a dark lager beer and the official beer of Oktoberfest Tampa 2017. It has been produced especially for Oktoberfest since 2015. ABV 5.2%
• Independent Pilsner- a German Style Pilsner with an ABV of 5.5%.
• Oktoberfest- a German style ‘Marzen’ lager, ABV 5.8%

Over six million liters of beer are served at Oktoberfest in Munich. To help count how many liters they will serve at Coppertail, special edition Coppertail liter steins will be available Saturday and Sunday. The quantity is limited so get one early.

There will be entertainment including a German music play list and games. A special Bavarian-style food menu will be offered by the S & V Kitchen at Coppertail. Highlights of the menu are a house pretzel with beer cheese made with Coppertail Oktoberfest, Scheinhaxe, a beer-roasted pork shank and Jagerschnitzel, a veal cutlet with a Dunkel beer hunter's mushroom gravy over German "himmel und erde" (heaven & earth) mashed potatoes and warm sauerkraut.

Admission and parking are free and all ages are welcome. Bring your friends, your schatz (sweetheart) and join the fun. Prost!
