Oktoberfest is a 16-day celebration/excuse to wear funny hats, drink steins and steins of beer, and gourge yourself on weiner schnitzel. (Cultural note: Those who overindulge are called ‘Bierliechen’, German for beer corpses). Luckily, you don’t have to travel to Germany or Ontario’s own Little Berlin (Waterloo) to experience the fest right: Fynn’s of Temple Bar is celebrating with a week-long tribute to Oktoberfest, that kicks off with a classy OktoberFEAST on October 14th.

The Food Network’s Kevin Brauch, the Thirsy Traveller and a floor reporter for Iron Chef America, will host this 5-course dinner of champions. Each delicious dish will be paired with a beer to taste, and Kevin might be bringing a surprise sixth beer for the lucky (read: drunk) diners. $40 gets you into this culinary beer-tour, where great music will be played and you can over-indulge with the best of them.

Fynn’s has great events going on all week, so check out http://www.fynnstemplebar.com for a complete list. For dinner reservations or questions, contact: jamieverk@fynnstemplebar.com
