Celebrate Oktoberfest in London - at the Bavarian Beerhouse!

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 26, 2009 – British Beer lovers no longer have to travel all the way to Munich to experience the famous Oktoberfest. For the sixth year in a row, the Bavarian Beerhouse in London is organising its own Oktoberfest, featuring Bavarian-style fun, entertainment and live music.

Kicking off on Thursday, 17th September 2009, this is an authentic slice of Oktoberfest action in the heart of the capital. For seven weeks the Bavarian Beerhouse will be transformed into a haven of beer, live entertainment and partying.

Massive pork shanks and Stein glasses of German beers will be served by dirndl-clad waitresses. Guests will be encouraged to dance on the benches. Live musicians are flown in specially from Bavaria, bringing their guitars, accordions and Lederhosen. The band line-up is as follows:

Schoenebecker Herzbuben, 17th – 19th September 2009
Iza & Helmut, 23th – 26th September 2009
Tommy & Timo, 30th September – 3rd October 2009

The Bavarian Beerhouse’s General Manager, Diana Lehmann said: “Everybody who’s been to the Oktoberfest in Munich tells me how much they loved it. Now they can celebrate Oktoberfest in London in an authentic Bavarian atmosphere. Partying Bavarian-style means people are really letting their hair down and enjoying themselves.”
