Buoy Beer Announces Oktoberfest Details

Oktoberfest by Buoy Beer Co. is back with all the fun from last year and more. Mark your calendars for September 23rd for this one-day event full of beers, music, food, and of course the stein-holding competition! Doors will open at 11am and we’ll be partying until 10pm. 
Included will be new and favorites from Buoy Beer, collaborations with Obelisk Beer Co. and Ecliptic Brewing, and tasty fresh-hopped beers flowing from taps into half- and full-liter steins.
The Oompah Boys are back and will entertain all in the afternoon. Left On Tenth will perform at 6pm, playing music that manifests itself into a variety of genres, from funky grooves and hard-driving rock to reggae-inspired tunes and slower ballads. Then at 8pm, Jay Si Proof will take the stage with their philosophical indie funk vision.
All this and so much more will be going on! The stein-holding competition is back, deemed the Stein-ly Cup from here on! Sign up online for the qualifying rounds. You can select the time slot of 11:30am, 2:30pm, or 5:30pm. The winner from each of those rounds will compete at 7:30pm for prizes and glory.
