First Friday & PBC Awards Oct 4th at Wurstküche Venice
I hope that everyone is enjoying this Oktoberfest season and finding lots of excellent German food and beer to enjoy. To that end, Tomm Carroll has helped us set up our October First Friday at Wurstkuche in Venice. We will have a table outside in the back. They serve a pretty good variety of German and Belgian beers on draft as well as a large selection of sausages from standards to exotic meats and even vegetarian.
This will also serve as the awards ceremony for Pacific Brewers Cup, so please come collect the plethora of ribbons you won in the competition, or simply support those who did!
