Tapping into Oktoberfest

---

Colorful, crisp foliage in hues of red, orange, and yellow falling from bright trees, accompanied by a spine-chilling cool breeze, can only mean one thing, fall is here. As the temperature gets colder, the beer gets darker, and the autumn sky brings us Oktoberfest. Originally a commemoration for the marriage of Bavarian Prince Ludwig on October 12, 1810, Oktoberfest is now the world’s largest beer fest. The 16-day fair runs from September to the first Sunday in October, when the weather conditions are much more pleasant.
During the months of Oktoberfest, The Ginger Man, located in South Norwalk offers a little taste of Germany. Here, the beer is served the German way, brewed with barley, hops, malt, yeast, and seasonal spices like pumpkin. They also have an extensive menu with over one hundred types of draft and bottled beers combined.
Different types of wursts and other German delicacies are also available.
To accompany their food in an authentic fashion, clients can enjoy their beer out of liter mugs, an Oktoberfest staple. For the devout beer drinker, monthly five-course beer & malt dinners are offered. Each course is paired with a different regional, or international beer that was also used in the preparation of the dish. Fall is the perfect season to indulge in a mix of beer and food. Visit The Ginger Man this autumn to take part in a local Oktoberfest celebration.
