This time of year the entertainment calendars are chock full of different Oktoberfest celebrations. The original one in Munich just ended but here in the states they are happening all through the month of October.
This coming weekend is a new one for us, the Tampa Oktoberfest 2011 (or is it the Oktoberfest Tampa 2011 ?) This is the second year for the event so it still may be relatively unknown. It takes place along the banks of the Hillsborough river at Water Works Park in Tampa FL. I’ve never been to that particular location before so I’m not sure what to expect. Of course if you have beer tents, beer, and brats, how can it be bad ?
I’m particularly interested in trying the King Ludwig Oktoberfest Spezial beer. The Tampa Oktoberfest is the only Oktoberfest in the state of Florida where you will be able to get this special beer and one of only three locations in the Eastern US.
The event starts with the Keg Tapping on Friday at 3 pm and continues through Sunday.
Check out the event website for all the information.
