Germany comes to Good Cheer on Saturday, May 23.
Join us for a day of great beer, great food, and fun activities celebrating a country with a legacy of fantastic beers: Germany.
Our special guests Mr. Bretzelking will be preparing currywurst (sausages) and traditional German soft pretzels on-site.
We’ll also be pouring two brand-new feature beers brewed specially for the occasion:
-An Ainpöckischbier, re-created from a 1500s recipe and said to have been Martin Luther’s favourite beer
-A hopfenweisse, a modern hoppy wheat ale
Alongside them, we’ll be featuring rich German bocks, historical smoked beers, and a beer from Weihenstephan, the world’s oldest brewery, founded in 1040.
Bring your kids to participate in the pretzel toss. Bring your dog to participate in a best dressed dog competition. Bring your arms to join you in a stein holding contest!
It’s all happening on Saturday, May 23rd.
Secure your space, tickets are $10 and include a pint of Ainpöckischbier or hopfenweisse.
WAIT! There’s more! This is also the launch of DogDaysYYC, Calgary’s first hot dog festival. We’ll be serving three kinds of sausages - the currywurst, and Icelandic hot dog and a pretzel dog. $1 from the sale of each goes to the Pet Access League Society.
