Oktoberfest Long Weekend 2020
Oktoberfest is returning to Murray’s Brewery this October long-weekend.
A specially-brewed Oktoberfest style beer, food including twise cooked crisp pork belly, German trio of sausages, plus free live music will feature at the Oktoberfest-themed Bobs Farm brewery.
One of the region’s favorite performers, Brien McVernon, headlines our entertainment with a live music on Sunday 4 October. While on Saturday 3 October local favorite Amy Fredes performs.
“So break out the lederhosen, start practising your oompah-pahs and celebrate the world’s biggest festival, down under, at Bobs Farm. We hope to see you there!” says brewery owner, Murray Howe.
The original Oktoberfest in Munich is the largest festival in the world. Last year, almost 7 million litres of beer was consumed there. This accounts for about 30% of the entire annual beer production of all the Munich breweries combined. Visitors also eat a staggering 400,000 sausages - or around one sausage for every two seconds during the festival’s business hours! And the festival record for number of beers carried in one go is 27!
“It seems that beer really can stimulate an economy,” added Murray. “In Germany, Oktoberfest is one of the nation’s biggest exports, and last year the festival generated a staggering AUD$1.63 billion for its economy.”
Many people may not know that Oktoberfest is also the name of beer style.
“Technically, authentic ‘Oktoberfestbier’ is brewed only by the breweries within the city limits of Munich. All other beers brewed to emulate the original must be labelled Oktoberfest-style beer! Murray’s is also brewing a traditional Märzenbier Oktoberfest beer - or should I say Oktoberfest-style lager, which is medium bodied, clean, and rather rich, with a depth of malt character,” says Murray.
“There will be fun food specials to accompany our German-style beer – think pork belly and sausages (maybe not 400,000 of them though), he added.
What is known today is the world’s biggest beer festival actually started out as a Royal Wedding on 12 October 1810 – where a horse race was the big attraction, and not the beer. Today, Oktoberfest is all about the beer. The festival celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2010, and amazingly, only wars, cholera epidemics and the covid 19 pandemic in 2020 have briefly interrupted the annual beer celebration across the past two centuries.
