East Bay's Steins & 'Staches Oktoberfest!

If there's one thing that yelpers and Germans have in common, it's the mutual appreciation for a brilliant combination of malts, yeast and hops. That's right, beer is dear to our hearts, and last night at Pyramid Brewery and Alehouse in Berkeley, East Bay Elites and guests discovered just how deep that love goes! From Haywire Hefeweizen and Audacious Apricot Ale to Thunderhead IPA, swigging was the name of the game. And to go along with our lip-smacking good brews, the generous kitchen filled our bellies with all sorts of goodies!

 

In proper Deutsch style, some imbibers came decked in lederhosen and dirndl, while others embraced a more contemporary German look, the mustache! After a few pints of ale in custom-decorated steins, folks polkaed to the sounds of oompa band, Big Lou's Casserole. We'd be lying if we said there wasn't some chicken dancing and do-si-doing going on! Ahhh, what inspiration beer brings.

Danke schoen to the entire Pyramid crew for taking such good care of us! Something about local brew just tastes better. How good? See for yourself on Flickr, and hear the tales from yelpers themselves!

Inspired to join us next time? Yelp.com/Elite has all the details.

Until next time...

Prost & SYOY!
