Spock + Beer Festival = Spocktoberfest! Join me at Celestial Brewery in Dallas for a last-minute weekend Saturday Afternoon of Oktoberfest festivities! I had no idea that this was a thing until just today. I know this isn't much of a heads up, but I wanted the group to know that I will absolutely be there to support such a wonderful fusion of Trek and traditional imbibing ! If you can make it, please come out dressed in your best Trek Gear, Lederhosen or dirndl (dirndl = women's Bavarian dresses)! I will be wearing a combination of Trek and Oktoberfest trachten (garb), and will be repping Ten Forward: Star Trek DFW at least until after the Stein Holding competition! I'll be easy to find and will have the sign up!
Parking is a usually cinch, but there's a chance you might have to look extra hard due to the event. The event is open to all (is free to attend) and you do not have to buy a stein to join in the fun! Beers, ciders, wines and other non-alcoholic options are available There will also be specialty German-inspired pizzas by ThreeSmiths there for food!
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS FOR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST:
1:00PM - The Satellite Opens (the 'Satellite' is the brewery's event space and easy to find. The Celestial Taproom is the main room.)
1:30PM - Alpine Village Band starts! Goes until 3:30PM.
3:30PM/4:00PM - Stein Holding & Chugging Competitions (extra pour included for all those competing!)
5:00PM - Close and Post Gaming beings at the Celestial Taproom!
FROM CELESTIAL:
With the purchase of the 20 Oz. specialty stein, you'll also receive three pours of all lagers as well as any other beers 7% ABV and below. If you register on their website, you are guaranteed a stein, but they will sell them day-of while supplies last.
LIVE LONG & "PROST"ER!
NOTE: I am in the process of finding another location to have a true Ten Forward meeting, likely at the beginning of October. Please pardon my lapse in posting--I've unfortunately experienced some unexpected family loss. I appreciate everyone's patience!
