Get ready to don your lederhosen and celebrate Oktoberfest, German style, at the Black Forest Brew Haus in Farmingdale. A collaboration of two nations striving for perfection in beer brewing has resulted in this brewpub featuring beers crafted on the premises and a delectable menu of such German epicurean delights as sauerbraten and wiener schnitzel.
The Black Forest Brew Haus has benefitted from the practices of Privatbrauerei Hoepfner, based in Karlsrue, Germany, a venue that has been brewing since 1798. This parent company has contributed superior brewing ingredients and imparted its winning brewing traditions to the Black Forest Brew Haus, resulting in finely crafted beers that adhere to German traditions. Glancing about the dining room and around the bar, the Hefe-Weizen appears to be the most popular choice. The brewmaster also conjures some unique beers, such as the winter Campfire Ale, a smoke beer produced by recycling the restaurant’s Christmas tree.
With architecture reminiscent of the Alpine region, the Black Forest Brew Haus features an outdoor beer garden, a large brick fireplace in the dining room and views of the shiny brewing vats. Wait staff is clad in traditional Old World German garb. During Oktoberfest, live music is featured throughout both weekends. Enjoy smoked sausages, fully loaded potato pancakes or a hefty Bavarian pretzel with honey-mustard dipping sauce, all washed down with your choice of brew. Located in close proximity to SUNY Farmingdale and the Adventureland amusement park, avoid the hassles of airport security and take a drive instead. Oktoberfest at the Black Forest Brew Haus is all about celebrating German heritage and the delicious contributions made to America’s tables as well as their beer mugs. Prost!
Oktoberfest 2013 runs from September 21 through October 6. Visit www.blackforestbrewhaus.com for directions, restaurant hours and festival schedule.
