Don your dirndls at the Bierfest this weekend

Much to our delight, beer festivals are all the rage and 

hardly a weekend goes by without a hops-induced event.

This weekend Montecasino plays host to South Africa’s largest Oktoberfest-styled event, 

the TOPS at SPAR BIERFEST. Not only can revelers sip on specially-crafted 

Bavarian biers in the 4000-seater Brauhaus, they can also feast on fine 

Bavarian cuisine, dress-up in lederhosen, pigtails and dirndls, and dance to 

ridiculously infectious oompah beats!

Attendees will be partaking in a 204-year old tradition that began 

in Munich, Germany. History has it that when Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig 

married Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810, he invited the entire city 

of Munich to what eventually became the world’s biggest after-party.

Founding partner South African Breweries have once more called upon their 

Master Brewers to craft three special, limited edition Bavarian-styled biers just for Bierfest. 

The ever-popular Royal Bavaria Oktoberfest Bier, the traditional Krystal Weiss 

Protea Edelweiss and the speciality dark ale - the King Ludwig Munich Dunkel. 

Master Brewers will be located onsite for tasting and bier education at Bierfest’s 

Braumeister Ecke (a.k.a Brewmasters’ Corner).
