Beer Event: Octoberfest at the British Beer Company in Walpole 9-24 (MA)

It’s that special time of the year again: football, foliage and of course…Octoberfest at the British Beer Company in Walpole. This autumn affair scheduled for Saturday September 24th from 2-6pm is really a mini beer festival with over 20 breweries and 75 different beers available to sample. Octo(BEER)fest might actually be a better title. Nothing says “party” like a big tent out front of the BBC, with live music, right next to a mobile Paulaner beer truck!

There will be plenty of fresh seasonal beers to sample, along with some of the most highly rated flagship beers in the world.

The Racky Thomas Band will be busting out the blues up on the patio as brewers share knowledge and pour their sweet nectar.
