This year, we've added a Texas Beer section. Blanco's Real Ale Brewing Company will be pouring Fireman's #4, and their Oktoberfest. Austin's Independence Brewing Company will be pouring their Pale ale and the Brown Ale. We contacted (512) Brewing Company, Live Oak Brewing Company, and Franconia Brewing Company but due to the way Oktoberfest is operated, it was logistically impossible for them to participate. Maybe next year. Rahr and Sons Brewing Company never returned our call and apparently does not have a distributor in this area. Also on tap will be Saint Arnold Oktoberfest, Shiner Bock and Shiner 100, and Lone Star and Lone Star Light.

Hi, Jeffrey,
I noticed this post and thought you might be interested to hear about Flying Saucer's second annual Fall Beer Festival in Austin.
Flying Saucer will host its second annual Fall Beer Festival on Saturday, Oct. 24 from noon to 10 p.m. in Triangle Park.
The Fall Beer Festival will feature five beer tasting tents plus a full-pint tent, each with at least four brews chosen by Flying Saucer’s own resident beer guru, Keith Schlabs and Austin Flying Saucer general manager Ted Rowell. Featured beers will include rare special releases and cask-conditioned ales, including Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale and cask-conditioned North Coast Red Seal Ale in the West Coast tent and Avery Dugana IPA, cask-conditioned Breckenridge 471 IPA and Boulevard Smokestack Tank 7 in the UR Not Worthy tent.
The Captain’s Picks tent is scheduled to feature, among others, a brew made by Captain Keith at Sierra Nevada’s recent beer camp. The brew, called Sierra Nevada Edge of Darkness, will be offered in a very limited supply.
Admission to the event is free, but for $15, event goers will receive a commemorative glass and tasting card that can be redeemed for a sampling of 10 of the 30 featured beers. Brats, kraut, Bavarian pretzels and Sno-Cones also will be available, and the festival will feature a dunking booth for contestants to throw Frisbees® at a target, with a portion of proceeds going to Austin-based not-for-profit Planet Cancer.
