Oktoberfest is back this Saturday!
After a brilliant turnout last year, Oktoberfest is back at The Lion this Saturday – and this year it’s going to be even bigger and better!
Saturday 3rd October from 2pm until late
We’ve got live music from 2pm with Jess & Dec, Andy Phoenyx and Roadkill Pizza, a fantastic selection of beers from local breweries and the BBQ fired up with sausages galore – don’t miss it!
Here’s a taste of what we will have on offer from just some of the brilliant breweries we’ll be showcasing at the weekend…(don’t worry non-beer drinkers we’ll have plenty of options for you too!)
Keeping things properly local, Papworth Brewery is based in Earith, Cambridgeshire and brews ‘deliciously drinkable ales’. We’ll be pouring one of their more unusual creations – Koura (5.7%), a strong, golden wheat beer with a delicate banana aroma and sweet tropical fruit flavours, finished with Wai-Iti hops for a hit of zesty citrus.
Just down the road in Bishop’s Stortford, The Belgian Brewer brews without any chemicals, flavour enhancers or animal derived products. We’ll have their Pilsner (4.8%) – crisp, clean and easy-drinking, with hints of lemongrass and a low bitterness, alongside their Oktoberfest Bier (4.5%), a limited-edition brew made especially for Oktoberfest. Rude not to, really.
Independent Norfolk brewery Wolf Brewery has been brewing since 1995, and we’ve picked two rather different beers for you to try. Straw Dog (4.5%) is a refreshing German-style wheat beer with a hint of citrus and a gently sweet finish.
