FLX Oktoberfest

09/17/2020

🚨Ticket prices increases TOMORROW🚨

The German Garbage Plate will have to wait but the craft beers will be following and the company will be great!

Introducing the DLG Backyard Brewfest - a collaboration of 15 breweries across NY. We are bringing the Brewfest to you! This initiative is to assemble some of the best craft beers in the FLX region and NY State.

With the recent news of Brewfest & Oktoberfest cancellations across the country, there is a hole in the beer industry that our community looks forward to every year. By COVID-19 restricting mass gatherings, traditional festivals models have to be postponed. We are here to salvage the celebrations and community engagement!

HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Purchase a ticket to the DLG Backyard Brewfest to reserve your full mixed pack (and other goodies!)
A. Select your desired pick up day/time slot (This will ensure social distance rules are followed and there is no traffic congestion)
2. Pick-up your box on your scheduled pick-up day. Please bring the following to the pick-up location:
A. Your printed ticket
B. Your ID
C. A mask- must be worn during the drive-thru pick-up
3. Take home your DLG Backyard Brewfest Pack!
A. Enjoy with your family and friends while you participate in virtual events including tasting along with some of the brewers themselves and a craft beer influencer!

*Pick-up locations:
1. War Horse Brewing
2. Stoneyard Brewing
3. Resurgence Brewing

WHAT’S INCLUDED?
1. A full 15 pack of 16oz assorted craft beers (mostly limited releases) consisting of the best products each brewery has to offer.
2. Branded DLG pint glass & Church Key
3. Goodies- Sponsored by Frito-Lays & NY Kitchen
4. Descriptions from the brewers themselves

4. “Learn From a Craft Beer Influencer” with .Brat & – with a combined 35k in followers on IG
5. “Step Up Your Social Media Game” with Content on Draft® owners Amy and Morgan- learn from these social media experts on various topics
6. A homage to Jimmy Kimmel’s “Mean Tweets”, we present- “Beer Reviews Unfiltered” brewers read off mean comments from followers on social media and Untapped- The recording will pay during a set break
7. “Talk with Celeste Beatty”- 1st African American female brewery owner and brewer from Harlem Brewing, will talk about what it takes to be a pioneer in the craft beer industry

FLX Oktoberfest was formed with one idea; bringing something special, and community driven, to Upstate NY.

From the hard work of locals from Geneva to Buffalo, and all those in between, this family friendly event was born.

Come join us on 9/21/2019 2-10pm in Geneva NY on Seneca St. and Seneca St. Lot for Live Music, German Foods, Contests, Carnival Activities; oh and, BEER!

Take a stroll down Seneca St., check out the local shops and restaurants then jump in a Fun House, maybe toss a ring or two and win a silly stuffed animal. Come back for the candy apple and fried dough; fill up on the good stuff first. Keep Walking!

Grab a bite of a Schnitzel, or maybe a German Garbage Plate (we had to do it) while listening to American Jam's you know and German songs you need to know! Stroll into the lot, a nice cold one is waiting for you! Observe the fools (I personally will be one of them) that scarfs down WAY too many potatoes in the Potato Eating Contest (Bucket List?)

After you have got your laughs in, it’s time to get serious. Show off your skills and strength, sign up for Sam Adam's Stein Hoisting Contest (we don't discriminate, whatever gender you chose; men's and women's division). Had enough? We doubt it!

How about a little live music from a DOPE local artist? Yeah, he's REALLY good! While you’re at it, we decided throw in some of the best Upstate Local Beers around. Take a gulp (or 16) and spend a little on enjoying the goodness that Upstate has to offer. TRUST, you will not be disappointed by this spread (5-8pm).

Vibe out for a bit, laugh, dance...and be prepared! The final act will impress! Like German Music (we do), Like Irish music (yeah us too), maybe a little Scottish, or African Traditional? Come get cultured, this band has it all!

Did we mention the Mayor of Geneva, Ronald L. Alcock is commencing the event with a traditional keg tapping ceremony at 2:15pm? (Yeah, that's for real. He likes beer.) Not to mention a live performance of the German National Anthem (with a twist!)

Hope to see you as we kick off the 1st Annual FLX Oktoberfest in Geneva, NY... THIS SATURDAY!

Sure, you can wait until next year but why would you? Be a part of this, YOU made this happen! Now Let's, MAKE IT HAPPEN!



*A Portion is All Proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Club of Geneva
