Fort Myers Brewing Company to host Oktoberfest on Oct. 3-6

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Sept. 6, 2019 - PRLog -- Fort Myers Brewing Company will host its 7^th annual Oktoberfest, a four-day family-friendly event that includes craft beer, German food, live music and a first for the popular brewery – a Wiener Dog Race.

Oktoberfest will be held Thursday, Oct. 3 through Sunday, Oct. 6 at Fort Myers Brewing Company, 12811 Commerce Lakes Drive, Suite 28, in Fort Myers.

Ten different food trucks will be serving their specialty dishes and foodie features over the four-day event, and six local bands and musicians are scheduled to entertain the crowd.

After ramping up for the first two days, Oktoberfest's main event is Oct. 5 when Fort Myers Brewing features more than 50 craft beers on tap, rolling out new brews periodically throughout the day. The brewery will also host several Stein Hoisting Competitions, a traditional Bavarian endurance contest in which participants must hold a full stein in their outstretched arm as long as possible without spilling any beer.

Then on Oct. 6, Fort Myers Brewing will host its inaugural Wiener Dog Race in which dachshunds will race to the finish line for a prize. Dogs of all breeds can also compete in a Fun Run immediately after the Wiener Dog Race.
