Oktoberfest Beag Competition

8th Sep 2010

Organisers of the Oktoberfest Beag - or Little Oktoberfest, are bringing the legendary Munich Oktoberfest to Cork to celebrate the 200th birthday of the original Oktoberfest with a Bavarian themed festival in Cork beginning on Thursday 23rd September and continuing until October 3rd.

Cork will come alive with Bavarian banter as Oktoberfest celebrations transport Corkonians to the heart of Munich to commemorate this special event with authentic food, music and entertainment.

The original Oktoberfest was created in 1810 to celebrate the royal Bavarian wedding of Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. After 5 days of celebrations, Prince Ludwig decreed that from then on the festival would run each year.

Póg beag.

Visitors to Oktoberfest Beag are invited to sample real Oktoberfest culture with the special Paulaner Oktoberfest Brew, one of only six beers permitted to exhibit at Munich's legendary Oktoberfest.

Paulaner's Oktoberfest Bier is specifically brewed for the event and instantly recognisable by its golden yellow tones and light, hoppy malt flavour. An authentic Bavarian-style wheat beer, Paulaner is brewed by the monastic order of St Paolo that settled in the heart of Munich, Germany in 1634.

Oktoberfest Beag takes place nightly from Thursday September 23rd until Sunday October 3rd at City Limits on Coburg Stl. The venue is open from 5pm daily. Entry is free of charge before 9pm and €5 thereafter.

"This is fantastic opportunity to experience the sights, sounds and, most importantly, the tastes of Oktoberfest, in Cork city", said organiser Ernest Cantillon.

"We will have Bavarian themed food like bratwurst; the Edelweiss Bavarian Showband and the special Paulaner Oktoberfest Brew in authentic glasswear."
