In traditional Bavarian fashion, large glasses will be raised to usher in the month of October this year in the Otways.
Otway Brewery, home of Prickly Moses beers, plays host to this rollicking day of hearty German fare and a fantastic range of specialty brewed craft beers.
Live Oompah band "Silver Echos" will entertain on Saturday plus the Oberbayern Slap Dancing Group will perform for your enjoyment. Brewery tours and specialist beer tastings will be available with the brewer.
Now in its seventh year, the event attracts beer enthusiasts from right across the State.
