The Ipswich Ale Brewery and its Brewer’s Table Restaurant are gearing up for a block-party style Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, September 28^th, 12 – 6pm. The brewery is shutting down the street directly in front of the building at 2 Brewery Place in downtown Ipswich for the day to accommodate a large tent with communal seating, a tapmobile, food truck, and live Oompah music by the Ipswich Beer Garden Brass Band (12 – 2pm), and the Mad Bavarians (2 – 6pm). Guests are strongly encouraged to don dirndls and lederhosen for the day – there will be prizes for the best-dressed man, woman, and dog. There will also be a male and female stein-hoisting competition (~4:30pm), and opportunities to win prizes throughout the day: check the bottom of your cup! If your cup has a special festival stamp, you’ll be able to spin the “wheel of awesome” to win prizes like: Ipswich Oatmeal Stout mustard, magnetic bottle openers, and gift cards to the Craft Beer Cellar.

Advanced tickets can be purchased for $15. Ticket price includes a limited edition glass Oktoberfest mug and first pour. Day-of admission with mug and pour is $18. Additional drinks and food is pay-as-you-consume. Admission to the beer garden without a mug is $5.

The Brewer’s Table Restaurant will be adding traditional German dishes to its regular menu starting Thursday, September 26^th. Ursula Corbin, Austrian native and longtime friend to the restaurant’s General Manager, Myles Eason, will be lending her culinary expertise to help create authentic German dishes such as: kartoffelpuffer, rouladen, spätzle, bratwurst, and sauerkraut.
